Question

6.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ribbon will move to the right.

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the net force and direction. This can be obtained as follow:

Force to the right (Fᵣ) = 120 N

Force to the left (Fₗ) = 80 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 120 – 80

Fₙ = 40 N to the right.

From the calculation made above, the net force is 40 N to the right. Thus, the ribbon will move to the right.
