Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate net - force for problem 1
When two forces of 5 N act in opposite directions on an object, the net force $F_{net}=5 - 5=0$ N.
Step2: Calculate net - force for problem 2
Two forces act on the object, 3 N and 5 N in opposite directions. The net force $F_{net}=5 - 3 = 2$ N.
Step3: Determine the winning team in problem 3
For Team 1, the net force is $5+5 + 5-5=10$ N. For Team 2, the net force is 12 N. Since $12>10$, Team 2 will push the box farther.
Step4: Calculate net - force for problem 4
Sally exerts a force of 20 N and friction exerts 8 N in the opposite direction. The net force $F_{net}=20 - 8=12$ N, and the direction is to the right (the direction Sally is pushing).
Step5: Calculate net - force for problem 5
Jeff exerts a force of 85 N and Chris exerts a force of 60 N in the same direction. The net force $F_{net}=85 + 60=145$ N.
Answer:
- 0 N
- 2 N
- Team 2
- 12 N to the right
- 145 N
