Answer:
Net force on the person is 0 N.
Explanation:
It is given that, a person is standing on ice. He throws a snowball with a force of 4 N to the right, while the snowball pushes the person with a force of 4 N to the left.
The given scenario is balanced because the same amount of force is acting in both direction.
Net force, [tex]F_{net}=F_r-F_l[/tex]
Where
[tex]F_r\ and\ F_l[/tex] are forces in right side and left side respectively.
This gives, [tex]F_{net}=0[/tex]
So, the net force acting on the person is 0 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
