4. Apply Scientific Reasoning Four boys push
on the front, back, and sides of a shopping
cart. The boys in the front and on the two
sides push with a force of 60 N. The boy in
back pushes with a force of 50 N. Which way
does the cart move?

Respuesta :

The body would be moved in the forward direction by a net force of 10N.

What direction does the cart move?

We know that force is a vector quantity. This implies that it has both magnitude and direction. The net force that acts on a body is the resultant force and this is the force that would move the object in a given direction. The object moves in the direction of the net force.

We are told that the forward force =  60 N

The backwards force = 50 N

We now have to determine the net force in order to understand the direction in which the body would move.

Net force = 60 N - 50 N = 10 N

It then follows that the body would be moved in the forward direction by a net force of 10N.
