Question

haley is trying to pull an object upward. the below forces are acting on the object. fp = 5500 n fg = 6000 n which represents the net force? ← 500 n → 500 n ↑ 500 n ↓ 500 n

Explanation:

Step1: Define the forces

$F_p$ is the pulling - force upward ($F_p = 5500N$) and $F_g$ is the gravitational force downward ($F_g=6000N$).

Step2: Calculate the net - force

The net - force $F_{net}=F_p - F_g$. Substitute the values: $F_{net}=5500 - 6000=- 500N$. The negative sign indicates that the direction of the net - force is downward.

Answer:

↓ 500 N
