Four forces are acting on an object. the earth pulls the box down with a 100 n force of gravity. the floor pushes the box up with a 100 n normal force. a student pushes the box to the right with a force of 50n. friction between the ground and the box oppose the motion of the box with a 30n force to the left. what is the net force on the box?

The net force on the object on which four forces are acting on is 20 N to the right.

What is net force?

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

Net force gives the resultant force acting on a given object at given period of time.

Mathematically, the net force on an object can be obtained by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows.

F(net) = ma

where;

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

The net vertical force on the object is calculated as follows;

F(upward) = 100 N - 100 N = 0 N

The net horizontal force on the object is calculated as follows;

F(horizontal) = 50 N - 30 N = 20 N

Thus, the net force on the object is acting towards the right of the object.
