Keisha has two large dogs and a small dog. The dogs like to play tug-the-rope together. Each of these three diagrams shows one way that the dogs play together with the rope. Look at each arrow and the number that goes with it. They show the direction and amount of force each dog exerts on the rope.

Look at the middle diagram, where the large dog and the small dog tug on the rope. Which statement correctly explains the amount and direction of the net force acting on the rope, and which direction the rope will move?

• A. The net force is 8 N to the left, and the rope will move to the right.

• B. The net force is 8 N to the left, and the rope will move to the left.

• C. The net force is 32 N to the left, and the rope will move to the left.

• D. The net force is 32 N to the right, and the rope will move to the right.

Keisha has two large dogs and a small dog. The dogs like to play tug-the-rope together. Each of these three diagrams shows one way that the dogs play together with the rope. Look at each arrow and the number that goes with it. They show the direction and amount of force each dog exerts on the rope.

Explain whether the forces shown in each diagram are balanced or unbalanced. Use math-based evidence to support your claim for each diagram.

• A!!! there are three illustrations of two dogs pulling at a toy rope. the left art should show two big dogs pulling on a rope toy each pulling with a force of 20n in the opposite direction. the middle art shows a big dog on left pulling to the left on the rope toy with a force of 20n and a little dog pulling to the right with a force of 12n. the right art shows the rope toy tied to a post, with both dogs pulling on different parts of the toy and in the same direction. one large dog pulls with a force of 20 n and the small dog pulls with a force of 12 n.
