Adam is pushing his box of baseball equipment with a force of 10 N and
the box is pushing back towards
Adam with a force of 6 N. What is the
total net force? What will happen to the motion of
the box? Explain.

The Total Net Force is 4 N

The box will accelerate or move towards the direction where Adam is pushing it.

Explanation:

You can get the total net force of two objects by adding the forces that act on the object. It is clear in the situation above that there is an "unbalanced force." This is the force that cannot be cancelled out by forces (vertical/horizontal).

10 N refers to the force used in pushing the baseball equipment and this is hindered or met by a 6 N force coming from the box itself. The forces are clearly unbalanced and will not cancel out each other. This means, it will accelerate or move towards the direction of greater force.

10 N - 6 N = 4 N

So, 4 N is the total net force
