Question

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force, when two forces F1(10 N) and

F2(8N) are applied

a) In the same direction

b) In the opposite direction​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) 10+8N=18N, in the direction of the force applied

b) 10-8N=2N, in the direction of the greater force( i.e. 10N)

Answer 2

Answer:

A- 18N

B-  2N

Explanation:

IN THE SAME DIRRECTION WE ADD

IN THE DIFFERET DIRECTION WE SUBTRACT
