Question

A 5 N force pushes on the right side of a box . At the same time a 10 N force pushes in the left side of the box what happens to the box ?

Answer 1

As long as the friction force under the box is less than 5N, it'll accelerate to the right.

Answer 2

The box will move 5n left because:

10-5=5

Then, you take the side that has the biggest number. In this case, 10n left > 5n right
