What will happen if a car experiences a 300 n force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 n force due to friction and air resistance to the left? show your work to support your position.

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

what question you dont ask a question

explanation:

we need to know the time interval during which the force acts. impulse of force = momentum change
