Question

1. Two forces having magnitudes of3.5 N and 5.5 N are acting on abody. Which one of the followingcannot be the resultant of theirpossible sum is;a. 1.5 Nb. 2.5 Nc. 4.5 N​

Answer 1

Answer:

The resultant that is not possible will be 1.5N

Explanation:

The maximum net-force that we can get

= 3.5 + 5.5

= 9N

The minimum net-force we can get

= 5.5 - 3.5

= 2N

Hence, the possible values of net-force we can get is between 2N and 9N

Since 1.5 does not lie between 2N and 9N it is not possible
