Nellie pulls with a force of 50 n on a horizontal rope tied to a tree at rest. the net force on the rope is

Missing choices. Found on google:

A) 50 N and rope tension is 0 N.

B) 50 N and rope tension is also 50 N.

C) zero and rope tension is 50 N.

D) zero and rope tension is also zero.

C) zero and rope tension is 50 N.

Explanation:

First of all, we notice that the rope is tied to the tree: this means that it cannot move. This implies that its acceleration is zero:

a = 0

And so, according to Newton's second law,

where F is the net force on the rope and m its mass, the net force on the rope must also be zero.

In this problem we are only concerned with what happens along the horizontal direction. We have two forces acting along this  direction:

- The pull applied by Nellie, of magnitude Fp = 50 N

- The tension in the rope T, that acts in the opposite direction

Since the net force must be zero, we can write

Fp - T = 0

And so

So the correct option is

C) zero and rope tension is 50 N.

the answer is 46 mls because when you add the speed per second it increses the speed
