Question 6 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

Which is the best example of forces acting in the same direction?

Answer
A
a boy lifting his chest off the ground during a pushup
B
two football players pushing a tackling sled
C
a person pulling out a garden hose from its reel
D
two dogs playing tug-of-war with a rope

Explanation

Forces act in the same direction when they push or pull an object along the same line and toward the same way. Two football players pushing a tackling sled together can both push it forward, so their forces add. In tug-of-war, the dogs pull in opposite directions, and the other examples do not clearly show two forces working together in the same direction.
