Question

Are. 2 teams are competing in a tug of war contest, team a is pulling 4000 newtons and team b is pulling at 4900 newtons in the opposite direction sketch the forest and show the net force exerted, which team is winning? Is the force balanced or unbalanced

Answer 1

Answer:

Net force exerted = 4000 + 4900 = 8900 N

Team B wins as it is exerting greater force.

Forces are unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Net force is the total force exerted by all the bodies or sources on an object.

The net force in the given question will be 4000 + 4900 = 8900N

The different types of forces acting on an object or body are Frictional forces, Gravitational forces, External Forces, etc.

In the given question, team A is applying 4000N of force, and team B is applying 4900N of force on each other. Team B applies greater force, so it wins. Hence it is an example of unbalanced forces.

Balanced Forces:

• Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction are called Balanced forces.
• Balanced forces do not result in any change in motion.

Unbalanced Forces:

• Forces applied to an object in opposite directions that are not equal in size.
• Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.
