Simone is walking her dog on a leash. The dog is pulling with a force of 32 N to the right and Simone is pulling backward with a force of 16 N. What is the net force on them?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 N (towards right)

Explanation:

Pulling force towards right, F1 = 32 N

Pulling force towards left, F2 = 16 N

Net force = F1 - F2

F = 32 - 16 = 16 N (towards right)

Answer:

Net force acting on them is 16 N and it is acting to the right side.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting by the dog, [tex]F_1 = 32\ N[/tex] (right side)

Force acting by Simone , [tex]F_2 = -16\ N[/tex] (backward)

Let backward direction is taken to be negative while right side is taken to be positive.

The net force will act in the direction where the magnitude of force is maximum. Net force is given by :

[tex]F=F_1+F_2[/tex]

[tex]F=32+(-16)[/tex]    

F = 16 N

So, the net force is 16 N and it is acting to the right side.
