question 1
respond to the following based on your reading.
what happens when one side of the tug-of-war rope has a large net force than the other?

Explanation:

This relates to Newton's second law of motion, which states that a net unbalanced force causes acceleration in the direction of the larger force. In a tug-of-war, if one side has a larger net force, the system (rope and teams) will accelerate toward that side.

Answer:

The rope (and the opposing team) will accelerate and move toward the side of the larger net force, meaning that side will pull the other side toward them and win the tug-of-war.
