The total electrostatic force on charge A is
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
Here we have three positively charged particles A,B and C, located at the following positions:
The magnitudes of the three charges are:
The force exerted by B on A is to the left (because the force between two positive charges is repulsive), and the force exerted by C on A is also to the left (also repulsive). Therefore, the net force on A is just the sum of the two forces exerted by charges B and C:

Answer:
14 N to the right
Explanation:
The net force is equal to the resultant of the forces acting on the wagon. In this case, we are considering two forces acting on the wagon:
- The force applied by Marybeth, to the left, of magnitude 34 N
- The force applied by Grant, to the right, of magnitude 48 N
Since the two forces are in opposite directions, in order to find the net force, we must choose a positive direction. Let's take "right" as positive direction, so the net force is:
And the positive sign means the net force is to the right. Due to this net force different from zero, the wagon will have an acceleration to the right, so if the wagon was at rest, it will start moving to the right.
