Question

A box is being pushed by two stellar science students, one on each side of the box. Delfino is pushing
the box with a force of 10 N to the left. Aleida is pushing the box with a force of 15 N to the right. Who is
the stronger individual and what is the net force and direction on the box.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that,

Delfino is pushing  the box with a force of 10 N to the left. Aleida is pushing the box with a force of 15 N to the right.

Aleida is exerting more force. He is the more stronger individual.

Net force is given by :

F = -10+15

F = 5 N

So, the net force is 5 N and it is in right direction.
