If Shane and Susan both push on a box with a force of 25N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the box?
A) The box will not move.
B) The box will slide toward Shane.
C) The box will slide toward Susan.
D) The box will be perpendicular to both Shane and Susan.
Since the forces exerted on the box are equal and opposite in direction, the net force will be 0, so the box will not move. A way to think of this is the equal forces in opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.
