PART I. Direction: Find the Net Force and draw the Net Force Arrows for each problem given below.
 PART II. Directions: Study the illustrations and answer the questions that follow.

10 units
1. A boy and a girl are pulling a heavy crate at the same time with 10 units of force each.
10 units What is the net force acting on the object?

2. What if the boy and the girl pull the heavy crate at the same time in opposite directions
with 10 units and 5 units of force respectively, what will be the net force on the object?
5 units 10 units Will the object move? To what direction will it move?

5 units
3. Suppose another girl pulls the heavy crate in with 5 units of force in the same direction as
the girl, what will be the net force that will act on the object? Will the object move?
5 units 10 units
