Atugboat is pushing a barge into a harbor. the barge is exerting a force of 3000 n against the tugboat. which force would most likely allow the tugboat to move the barge into the harbor?
a) 4500 n
b) 2500 n
c) 2500 n
d) 4500 n

a) 4500N d)4500N

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that a body tends to remain at rest unless a force greater than its resistance force acts on it.

In this case the barge has a resistance force of 3000N which means that to move it requires a greater force, so we conclude that the answer is

a) 4500N d)4500N

A -4500

Explanation:

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
