If Shane and Susan both push on a box with a force of 25N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the box?


AThe box will not move.
BThe box will slide toward Shane.
CThe box will slide toward Susan.
DThe box will be perpendicular to both Shane and Susan.

Since the forces exerted on the box are equal and opposite in direction, the net force will be 0, so the box will not move.
A way to think of this is the equal forces in opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.

I think the answer would be A. because if they're both pushing with the same force from both sides, it would stay still, right? Hope it helped! ^_^
