To stop the box from moving, you would need to subtract 8 N of force pulling to the right.
To determine which change in force would stop the box from moving, we need to consider the net force acting on the box. The net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on an object.
Given the options provided, we can calculate the net force for each scenario by adding or subtracting the forces:
1. Adding 6 N of force pulling to the right: To find the net force, we need to know the forces already acting on the box. If there are no other forces acting on the box, adding 6 N of force pulling to the right would result in a net force of 6 N to the right.
2. Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right: Again, we need to know the forces already acting on the box. If there are no other forces acting on the box, subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right would result in a net force of -8 N to the right. However, keep in mind that a negative net force indicates a force in the opposite direction (to the left in this case).
3. Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left: Similar to the previous scenario, subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left would result in a net force of -8 N to the left.
4. Adding 6 N of force pulling to the left: Adding 6 N of force pulling to the left, without knowing the other forces acting on the box, would result in a net force of 6 N to the left.
So, based on the options provided, the change in force that would stop the box from moving is subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right, as this results in a net force of 0 N (no force, which would stop the box from moving).
