Answer
  • A) 50 N east
  • B) 50 N west
  • C) 350 N east
  • D) 350 N

Question 2

Question
Two soccer players kick a ball simultaneously from opposite sides. Red #3 kicks with 50 N of force while Blue #5 kicks with 63 N of force. What is the net force on the ball?
Answer
  • 13 N in the direction kicked by Red #3.
  • 113 N in the direction kicked by Red #3.
  • 13 N in the direction kicked by Blue # 5.
  • 113 N in the direction kicked by Blue # 5.

Question 3
