Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.

Fp = 5500N

Fg = 6000N

Which represents the net force?

← 500N
→ 500N
↑ 500N
↓ 500N

Based on the given conditions, the gravitational force acted on the body is greater than the force upward by a quantity equal to 500 N. Therefore, the net force will cancel out and will remain an amount of 500N downward relative to the gravitational force exerted by the object.

Answer: The correct answer is 500 N in downward direction.

Explanation:

Balanced force is defined as the forces which gets cancelled out when equal forces are acting in the opposite direction. The net force on the system comes out to be 0.

Unbalanced force is defined as the forces which does not get cancelled out because unequal forces act on the system in opposite direction. The motion of the object is in the direction of net force.

According to the question:

When Haley tried to pull an object upward, the force applied by her is 5500 N.

The gravitational pull acting downward on the object being pulled is 6000 N.

Net force acting on the object = 6000 - 5500 = 500 N (acting downwards)

Hence, the correct answer is 500 N in downward direction.
