alleryWhen two teams pull a rope in opposite directions with EQUAL force, the rope:
AAccelerates in the direction the wind blows on it
BAccelerates in the direction of one team's individual pull
CStays still because the two forces are balanced
DSnaps at its weakest point along the rope's length
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Stays still because the two forces are balanced
**Equal and opposite forces are balanced:** their net is zero. The rope stays at rest.
Only if one team pulls harder do the forces become unbalanced and the rope moves.
