Question

If a 600-N force is exerted on a box to push it to the right, and a 300-N force is exerted on the same box to push it to the left, what is the net force and direction of the box?

Answer 1

The net force is 300N since 600N - 300N = 300N. This is true because the forces are opposing each other. So the final answer would be 300N to the RIGHT.
