Question

if 10N and 8N of force are acting on an object in the opposite direction ,then the net force is equal to ________​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 N

Explanation:

Your net force will be 10-8=2 ,i.e. this is because both act in opposite direction.

The direction of net force will be in 10 N direction

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to this question is 2N

Explanation:

Here an object experiences force from 2 directions, from one direction the force is 10N and against this direction, it faces 8N force. This means that the object will start moving be in the direction of larger force with a net value of force.The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

Let the force of 10 N be acting in x direction and 8N acting in -x direction

⇒F= 10(i)+ 8(-i)=2(i)

Therefore the net force is equals to 2N and in the direction of larger force.

Hence the answer is 2N
