What is the net force on the book in the Figure below If the book moves in which direction will it move Left or Right PLEASE ANSWER BOTH PARTS OF THIS QUESTION class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. The net force is 2N

2. Left.

Explanation:

1. The net force acting on the book can simply be obtained by finding the difference between the two force. This is illustrated below:

Force 1 (F1) = 20N

Force 2 (F2) = 2N

Net force =..?

Net force = F1 – F2

Net force = 20 – 18

Net force = 2N

2. Since F1 is greater than F2, the book will move to the left.

The magnitude of the net force on the book is 2N and it is directed towards the left.

Resultant Force

Given that two forces are in the opposite direction.

Consider the force in the right direction [tex]F_2[/tex] as positive and the force in the left direction [tex]F_1[/tex] as negative.

[tex]F_{net}=F_2 + F_1[/tex]

[tex]F_{net}=18\,N - 20\,N=-2\,N[/tex]

The net force has a magnitude of 2N and is directed towards the left.
