Parker pushes a wagon using 30 Newtons of force. His brother Hayden pulls the wagon using 20 Newtons of force. Which direction is the cart going, and what is the net (total) force?
The cart is going in the direction of Parker and Hayden's forces. (they are going in the same direction) The net force is 50 N.
