A girl and a boy pull in opposite directions on strings attached to each end of a spring balance. Each child exerts a force of 20N. What will the reading on the spring balance be? 20 N 10 N 40 N 0 N

yo they deleted my answer. The answer is 0N

Explanation:

so when two forces pull on an object from opposite sides with the same force (in this case its 20N), then the object is in equilibrium at 0N.

So its clear that there is one person on the the opposite side.

SOOO  generally: (left or down) would be considered negative in an equation. And the other person  (right or up) would be considered positive. So if both forces are the same numbers on opposite sides then the answer is 0 (if you add both of them).

0 is the number of equilibrium.

OK, so the equation would be -20N + 20N and then badda bing badda boom viola, the 0N

thanks for coming to my TED talk. I hope they don't delete this answer.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
