Question

Two children who are fighting over toy pull on it from opposite sides the result is a standoff explain this in terms of the net force.

Answer 1

Ok so Net force is the vector sum of forces acting on a particle or body. The net force is a single force that replaces the effect of the original forces on the particle's motion. It gives the particle the same acceleration as all those actual forces together as described by the Newton's second law of motion.

If 2 children are both pulling on the toy and giving the same amount of Newton’s then nothing would change. If one child is giving more Newton’s then that Child would end up with the toy.

I hope this helped. I didn’t really know how to explain it. <3
