You and your sister are moving a plate of vegetables across the table. You apply a force of 100 N on the plate toward her and your sister applies a force of 75 N on the plate toward you. What is the net force?

A. 25 N

B. 125 N

C. -25 N

Respuesta :

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

Here is how to find the Fnet of the plate :

     Fnet = F1 + F2

     Fnet = 100 N [ R ] + 75 N [ L ]

Now because the forces push in opposite directions, you need to subtract :

     Fnet = 100 N [ R ] - 75 N [ R ]

     Fnet = 25 N

Hope that helps!
