6 0
An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

Bob and John are pulling in different directions. If Bob is pulling to the right with a force of 10N, and John is pulling to the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.

The box will move to the left.

The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.

Bob: +10 N

John: -12 N

Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.

For the acceleration:

Fnet = ma

-2 = (4 kg)a

a = -0.5 m/s^2

Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.
