Answer:

The net force is 10 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

A "net force" occurs when a particular object accelerates. It refers to the total number of forces that act on an object.

The boy pulling the cart and the other pushing it do their actions in the same direction. The force of pulling is 6 N while the force of pushing is 4 N. This means that the total force will not be cancelled.

To get the net force, add both forces since they are in the same direction (east).

Net force = 6 N + 4 N

Net force = 10 N (Newtons)
