NEET Physics Newton's Laws MCQ Question
A box is placed on a frictionless surface and subjected to two horizontal forces: 10 N to the east and 15 N to the west. What is the net force acting on the box, and in which direction does it accelerate?
5 N to the east
5 N to the west
25 N to the east
25 N to the west
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Newton's first law, the net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the box. Here, 15 N westward and 10 N eastward result in a net force of 5 N to the west, causing acceleration in that direction.
