Question

If you have 30 N force going left and a 10 N force going right, what is the force

Answer 1

20N

Step-by-step explanation:If you take the direction that the 30N force is acting in as positive, then since the 10N force acts in the opposite direction, the Net (resultant) force on the object is 20N. If the numbers were flipped, it would be -20N.

Answer 2

20 N

Explanation:

Since, both the forces are acting in opposite directions.

Therefore,

`Net \: Force = 30 \: N - 10 \: N \\ \\ = 20 \: N`
