Question

student x pushes a 10-n box with a force of 2 n. at the same time, student y pushes the same box with a force of 6 n, but in the opposite direction. which would most likely occur? (ignore friction.)

Answer 1

The box will move in the direction of the greater force, which in this case is the force applied by student Y (6 N) in the opposite direction to the force applied by student X (2 N). Therefore, the box will move in the direction of student Y's push.
