The forces exerted on an object are shown. A box has an arrow pointing right labeled 6 N and an arrow pointing left labeled F.

If the object moves right, which of the following is a possible value of F?

The possible value of F must be 5N.

Step-by-step explanation:

A vector quantity is a quantity that comprises of both magnitude and direction. And an example of a vector quantity is force.

In the given question, the pointing arrows are two forces in action, pushing the box in opposite directions.

If the values of both forces pointing left and right are equal, the box would not move. This implies that the two forces are balanced, so the box would be at a state of dynamic equilibrium.

If the box moves to the right, it implies that the force F is less than that pointing right i.e 6N > F.

Therefore, the possible value of F is less than 6N. Thus, F = 5N.
