Question

What is the net force if you push a cart to the right with 5N of force and a friend pushes the cart to the left with 5N of force?

Answer 1

`F_"net" = 0`

Explanation:

Let to the right be the positive direction. In that case, add the horizontal forces

`F_"net" = 5 N +(-5 N) = 0`

I hope this helps,
