Question

1. sep develop models kyrie is pulling a rolling suitcase by its handle. she pulls to the right on the suitcase with a force of 38 n. the suitcase exerts a force of 24 n to the left. draw a model of this scenario. include labeled arrows to show the forces acting on the suitcase. then calculate the net force and explain whether the forces are balanced or unbalanced. which way will the suitcase move? take a position write a few sentences that explain whether you think it is easier to model the situation in the first question using words or drawing a model.

Explanation:

Step1: Define right - hand force as positive

Let the force pulling to the right $F_1 = 38\ N$ and the force to the left $F_2=- 24\ N$.

Step2: Calculate net force

The net force $F_{net}=F_1 + F_2$. Substitute the values: $F_{net}=38+( - 24)=38 - 24 = 14\ N$.

Step3: Determine force balance and direction

Since $F_{net}
eq0$, the forces are unbalanced. The positive sign of $F_{net}$ indicates the suitcase will move to the right.

Answer:

The net force is $14\ N$. The forces are unbalanced and the suitcase will move to the right.
