Net force in the diagram is:
Correct answer: C. 2 N to right
- A. Zero
- B. 5 N to left
- C. 2 N to right
- D. 2 N to left
Explanation
Total force in right side, Fright = 7 + 2 = 9N Total force in left side, Fleft =3 +4 = 7N Net force on body = Fright - Fleft =9 - 7 =2N (right side)

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.

Which of the following distance versus time graphs represents the motion of an object whose speed is increasing?
An object is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial velocity in a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 19.6 m/s2. The height to which it raises is _ that which the object would rise if thrown upward with the same initial velocity on the Earth. Neglect friction.

A constant force of 8.0 N is exerted for 4.0 s on a 16 kg object initially at rest. The change in speed of this object will be:
Two forces are applied to a 5.0 kg crate; one is 6.0N to the north and the other is 8.0N to the west. The magnitude of the acceleration of the crate is:
The "reaction" force does not cancel the "action" force because:
