Q

What is the resultant force?
A Zorb ball with 20N to the left and 25N to the left?
If the Zorb baller was running from left to right what will happen when these forces are applied?

A

45N to the left and the Zorb baller will move left since there is a stronger force than going right

17
Q

What is the resultant force?
A rugby player gets tackled. He has 40N to the left and 25N to the left. But he has 85N to the right.
What direction will the rugby player travel?

A

20N to the right

18
Q

There is a tug of war between three women and two men.
All the women have a force of 50N each whilst the Men have 75N each.
What is the resultant force?

Size of object

20
Q

How do you measure speed?

A

Average speed=Distance divided by time

21
