Question

two persons applying forces in opposite directions on a moving cart.cart still moves in the same direction. what is the magnitude and directions of the force

Answer 1

Two persons are applying forces on two opposite sides of a moving cart, but the cart still moves with the same speed in the same direction.

This leads us to a conclusion that both are applying an equal magnitude force, and the direction of force by both of them is opposite to each other.

As a result both the forces cancel out each other(Resultant force =0) and the cart continues to move with the same speed in the same direction.
