Two students are pushing their stalled car down the street. If the net force exerted on the car by the students is 1000 N at an angle of 20° below horizontal, the horizontal
component of the force is:
(a) greater than 1000 N.
(b) less than 1000 N.
(c) sum of the pushing force and the weight of the students.
(d) (a) and (b)
(e) (a) and (c)

B

Explanation:

Because the force has 2 components (horizontal and vertical), the horizontal component must be smaller than the total force. The Pythagorean theorem only adds positive values (because they're squared) so it makes sense. Using trigonometry, 100*cos(-20) yields a horizontal force of around 939.7N, which is less than 1000N.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
