An object has a force of 10 newtons from the right and 17 newtons from the left. Once the object starts moving toward the right, an additional force of 7 newtons is applied from the right. What can you conclude about the direction of motion of the object after the application of the additional force?

Respuesta :

Answer;

The object will not move in either left or right direction, because the net force will be Zero.

Explanation;

  • Initially, the object experienced an unbalanced forces, 10 N from the right and 17 N from the left, which resulted to a net force of 7 Netwons, and thus the object moved towards the right.
  • Addition of a force of 7 Newtons from the right, resulted to balanced forces from both direction, thus the object stopped moving in either direction as the net force became zero.
  • An unbalanced force acting on an object makes the object to move, change direction or its speed.  Balanced forces creates a zero net force making the object to have zero acceleration or stop motion.
