Question

If a force 10 N due north is multiplied by (-10), then the product is

Answer 1

Answer:

its answer is _ 100 N Because 10×(_10)= _100N

Answer 2

The product will be -100 Newton due south.

What is force?

• Force is any external push or pull exerted on an object.
• It can be defined as rate of change in momentum of any object.
• It is given as F = m * a, where m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration with which it is moving after the force is applied.
• Force is a vector quantity and it expressed in Newton (N).
• It depends on the direction in which force is applied.
• Here, the force is multiplied with a negative sign which means that the new force will be in opposite direction.

So, before multiplication, the force of in the north direction but after multiplication, the direction of force will be directly opposite i.e. in south direction with magnitude 100 Newton.
