Question

Four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time, yet there is no net force on the toy. How is this possible?

Answer 1

Four children possibly around the same age , they are pulling on the toy most likely with the same amount of strength this will act as no force.

Example : If you and I were playing " tug-a-war " and we both pull on opposite sides with the same amount of force no one would move, the rope would be still, because the same force is on both sides of it.

Answer 2

Sample Response: Forces are either positive or negative vectors, depending on the direction in which the force is acting. The net force is the sum of all of the forces acting on an object. If the children pull on the toy with the same force in opposite directions, the forces will be perfectly balanced and cancel out, leaving a net force of zero.
