Two teams are playing tug of war. team a pulls to the right with a force of 450 n. team b pulls to the left with a force of 415 n. what is the net force on the rope, and what is its direction?

the net force in the rope is 35N pointing right.

Explanation:  

The total force applied on the string is equal to the sum of all the forces applied to it:

We know that both teams are pulling in different directions, so the forces have an opposite direction (and hence, opposite sign)

If we define the positive x-axis as the right; then we know that team A is pulling with a force of 450N

And team B is pulling with a force of -415N (because they are pulling to the left).

Then the total force is F = F1 + F2 = 450N - 415N = 35N

This means that the net force in the rope is 35N, and the direction is right (because it's positive)

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

i believe the answer is electric potential.
