If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 750 N, what is the net force exerted on the object?

A.
1250 N to the right
B.
1250 N to the left
C.
250 N to the right
D.
250 N to the left

Answer 1

force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.
