A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east as another boy pushes it with a force of 4 N east. What is the net force?
Please explain

Respuesta :

The net force with be 10 N east. As both boys are pushing a wagon to the same direction, you just add the numbers together. If the directions were opposite like if it was the boy pushing 6 N east and the other boy pushing 4 N west...then it would come out as 2 N east (you subtract and go to the direction with the biggest number) if you have any confusions, feel free to ask
