Aperson is standing on ice. he throws a snowball with a force of 4 n to the right, while the snowball pushes the person with a force of 4 n to the left. what is the net force on the person? 0 n 8 n 4 n, right 4 n, left

Net force on the person is 0 N.

Explanation:

It is given that, a person is standing on ice. He throws a snowball with a force of 4 N to the right, while the snowball pushes the person with a force of 4 N to the left.

The given scenario is balanced because the same amount of force is acting in both direction.

Net force,

Where

are forces in right side and left side respectively.

This gives,

So, the net force acting on the person is 0 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
