Question

Jack pushes a box to the left with 3 N, Jill pushes the same box to the right with 3 N. What is the net force? Are these balanced forces?

Expert Solution

Fundamentals

Consider a box as shown below. Two forces $\vec{F_{1}}$ and $\vec{F_{2}}$ are acting on this object.

The two forces:
$\vec{F_{1}} = 3 \hat{x} \vec{F_{2}} = 3 (- \hat{x}) = - 3 \hat{x}$
