Question

A person pushes down on an object with 10N of force but it doesn't accelerate. How is this possible

Answer 1

The forces are stronger than the push 10n.

We are learning this in 5th grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

This is possible if the force of friction acting on the object is equal to or greater than the 10N of force being applied to it. Frictional forces can oppose the motion of an object and prevent it from accelerating. If the frictional force is exactly equal to the applied force, the object will remain stationary and not accelerate in either direction.

Hope this helps!
