You push on a crate with a force of 10 N to the right, and your friend pushes on the crate with a force of 25 N to the left. Describe and explain the motion of the crate.

Question

ujjwal · Answer

net force= 25-10 N towards left.. and so the crate will move towards left.

ujjwal · Answer

net force= 15 N towards left

anonymous · Answer

that is the answer? and how you know

ujjwal · Answer

the greater force wins.. the resultant is in the direction of greater force.. And the greater force has to overcome the smaller one.. so we have to subtract the smaller force from greater one..

anonymous · Answer

ok thanks :)

anonymous · Answer

The crate accelerates to the left because there is a net force of 15 N acting to the left.
