The image above shows two opposite forces acting on a box, what can we say that is true about the affect of the forces on the box?

Respuesta :

This may not help but:

If the box is being pushed at a certain direction and it moves in that direction, that means that the force being pushed on the box is greater that the force the box expells.

___________

Big Force. | | Small force

-------------> | Box | <---

(Person) ___________

--------------------------->

Box moves this way

If the box does not move, then that means that the box is expelling the same amount of force as the person pushing.

___________

Same force. | | Same force

- - - - - -> | Box | <- - - - - -

(Person) ___________

. . . . .

Box stays still

If the box ends up pushing you, then that means that it expells more force than you.

___________

Small Force | | Big force

------> | Box | <----------------

(Person) ___________

<---------------------------

Box moves this way

Really hope this helps since there is no image.
