Simone is walking her dog on a leash. the dog is pulling with a force of 32 n to the right and simone is pulling backward with a force of 16 n. what is the net force on them? n is this force balanced or unbalanced? will the dog move forward, backward, or remain stationary?

Explanation :

It is given that,

The dog is pulling with a force of 32 N to the right and Simone is pulling backward with a force of 16 N.

(1) Since these two forces are in opposite direction. So, net force will be :

F = 32 N - 16 N

F = 16 N

So, the net force is 32 N.

(2) This force is unbalanced. Unbalanced force means that the net force acting on an object is not equal to zero. In this case, there is a net force in a particular direction and as a result, the dog will move.

(3) The dog will move in the forward direction because net force is in forward direction. Also, a force of 32 N is acting this side.

Hence, this is the required solution.
