Aforce of 20 newtons is exerted on a chair from its right and a force of 12 newtons is applied from
chair and in what direction will the chair tend to move?
a. the net force acting on the chair is 8 newtons, and the chair moves toward the left.
b. the net force acting on the chair is 32 newtons, and the chair moves toward the left.
c. the net force acting on the chalr is 8 newtons, and the chair moves toward the right:
d. the net force acting on the chair is 32 newtons, and the chair moves toward the right.

The net force acting on the chair is 8 newtons, and the chair moves toward the left.

Explanation:

We can better understand this problem if we analyze it through a free body diagram. This free body diagram is attached as an image.

If we make a sum of forces acting over the chair we can find -20 + 12 = -8 [N]

The minus sign indicates that the chair is moving to the left.

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
