Answer 2

please block? what is the modulus of total force acting on your block?
note that forces actiong on your block have opposite directions, so?

Answer 3

would it be B?

Answer 4

Or A?

Answer 5

no, sorry, please try to answer to my question above!

Answer 6

I'm not very good at Physical Science sorry XD but I'm answering your question with A because the balances are going different ways so it's not unbalanced so it stays the same.

Answer 7

please note that on your block is acting one force towards right, whose magnitude is 10N, and another force towards left whose magnitude is 8N, so it is like if on your block acts only one forse, I ask which is magnitude of tthe resulatant force?

Answer 8

OHHH BRAIN = EXPLOSION! The 10 would win cuz 10 is more than 8 XD so it would go to the right cuz the 10 arrow is going to the right

Answer 9

or would it technically be left? thats what i didnt get about the graph

Answer 10

so?

Answer 11

so to the right

Answer 12

that's right!

Answer 13

block will move to the right!

Answer 14

YES
im gonna ask another question and ill add you to it for 2 more questions ok?
if you wanna help

Answer 15

when acting forces are opposite, please you have to calculate the difference between magnitudes ofthose forces

Answer 16

ok!
