Take the sum of the forces on the object on the horizontal plane(x-direction) with the positive direction being to the right. The 80 newtons to the right is +80N and the 80 newtons acting to the left is -80N. Add them up, so 80N - 80N = 0 N. The total force acting on the object is 0.

What can you say about an object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces?

An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.


What is the net force on a that is pulled 40 newtons to the right and pulled 30 newtons to the left?

The net force is the difference between the two forces. So, the net force would be 40N - 30N = 10N to the right.


Two forces are acting on an object. one force is pulling 9 newtons to the left and the other is pulling 3 newtons to the right. what is the size and direction of the net force?

The net force acting on the object is 6 newtons to the left. This is calculated by subtracting the force pulling to the right (3N) from the force pulling to the left (9N).


What s the net force of 212 newtons right and 178 newtons left?

The net force is 34 newtons directed to the right.


If a force of 5 N to the left and a force of 9 N to the right act on an object what is the net force?

The net force is 4 N to the right (9 N - 5 N = 4 N).


It takes 9 seconds for a 10 Newton force to move an object 4 meters to the right What are the direction and magnitude of the force?

The direction of the force is to the right. To calculate the magnitude of the force, you can use the formula: Force = (mass x distance) / time. Here, the force is 10 Newtons, the distance is 4 meters, and the time is 9 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, the magnitude of the force is about 4.44 Newtons.


What is the net force on a cart that is pulled to the right with 80 newton and 80 newton the left?

The net force on the cart would be 0 Newtons because the forces pulling to the right and left are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, resulting in a balanced force situation.


What is the net force of 7 newtons left and 2 newtons right?

The net force is 5 newtons to the left (7 N - 2 N = 5 N).


How does unbalanced forces affect an object?

Consider an object in empty space. There are two forces pushing from opposite sides, one force (force A) on the left pushing with 2 newtons of force, the other (force B) on the right pushing with 1 newton. Since force A is pushing with a greater force than force B, the result will be the object moving right. The object is also moving with a force of 1 newton, because force A is 1 newton greater than force B.


Why A person is applying a force to the right on an object as shown. What forces are acting on the person?

Please someone answer!!!!!


What is the net force on a cylinder that is being pulled to the right with a force of 42 N and pulled to the left with a force of 40 N?

In this case you can simply subtract the two forces.


How do you caclulate the net force?

It's easiest to think about net force in a one dimensional world (a line). Say force 1 is exerting two newtons on the left side of object A (pushing it to the right), and force 2 is exerting 4 newtons on the opposite side of object A. All you have to do is subtract the two forces and you end up with 2 newtons being exerted on the right side of object A, accelerating it to the left. On a plane or in space, it's the same concept. What I find easiest to do, especially for plains, is to plot the forces, using the object as the origin. Then I draw each force vector, but instead of having them all extend off the object, I draw them off one another, e.g. the start of one vector is the end of the previous one. I then calculate the distance between the endpoint of all the vectors and the objects, and that is the net force.
