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
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Define upward as positive
Let upward - acting force $F_p = 5500N$ and downward - acting force $F_g=6000N$.
## Step2: Calculate net force
Net force $F_{net}=F_p - F_g$. Substitute the values: $F_{net}=5500 - 6000=- 500N$. The negative sign indicates the direction is downward.
# Answer:
↓ 500 N
