alleryStart learning →One child pushes a cart right with 30 N while another pushes it left with 20 N. What is the net force?
A50 N to the left
B50 N to the right
C20 N to the right
D10 N to the right
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 10 N to the right
Opposite forces subtract, so 30 N minus 20 N leaves 10 N in the direction of the larger push, to the right.
