Answer:
net force = 2N
direction = left
acceleration = 0.5 meters/second
Explanation:
the net force on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on it
since Bob and John pull in opposite directions, we subtract forces and the net force is
12N - 10N = 2N
since there is a greater force to the left (12N), the box moves to the left
use the formula Force = acceleration * mass to find acceleration
Force = 2N
mass = 4 kg
Force = acceleration * mass
acceleration = Force / mass = 2 / 4 = 0.5 meters/second
