Answer:
100N
Step-by-step explanation:
If I push on a desk with a force of 150 N to the right and my friend pushes on the same desk with a force of 50 N to the left, this means that I pushed the desk in the positive x direction and the force I applied is F1 = +150N; my friend pushes the desk in the negative x direction and the applied force will be F2 = -50N.
The net force will the sum total of both forces acting on the desk.
Net force F = F1+F2
Given F1 = +150N and F2 = -50N
Net force F = +150N+(-50N)
Net force F = +150N-50N
Net force F = +100N
