A moving company is moving furniture. Two movers are moving a large cabinet. One mover is applying a force of 75 N to the left and the other mover is applying 85 N to
the left. What is the net force that is being used to move the cabinet? Direction?
Net Force: 160 N to the Left

True or False
If you increase the mass of an object, but keep the force on it constant, its acceleration DECREASES.
True
Acceleration= Net Force/ Mass
The larger the MASS, the more FORCE is needed to maintain a desired acceleration.
