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?
