toward you with a force of 30 N, what will happen to the box?

The box will move toward you with a force of 10 N
The box will move toward your friend with a force of 50 N.

Answer 1

Answer:

The box will move toward you with a force of 10N

Explanation:

If you and your friend are pushing the same box with the same amount of force, those two forces will balance each other out, and the box won't move. In the question, 20N will cancel each other out, and there will be 10N. Your friend is pushing the box with more force than you, so it will move toward you with the remaining force of 10N
