Question

identifying forces
gustavo and beatriz are pushing on a door in opposite directions. if the door does not move, the forces are
the net force in this scenario would be

Explanation:

Step1: Recall force - equilibrium concept

When an object is at rest (the door does not move), the forces acting on it are balanced. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Step2: Calculate net - force

The net force $\vec{F}_{net}=\vec{F}_1+\vec{F}_2$. Since the forces $\vec{F}_1$ and $\vec{F}_2$ are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, $\vec{F}_{net} = 0$.

Answer:

The forces are balanced. The net force is 0.
