Question

Two forces are acting on an object in
opposite directions. What will be the
magnitude of resultant force?
(a) Sum of both the forces
(b) Difference of both the forces
(c) Product of both the forces
(d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference of both forces

Answer 2

Explanation:

If two forces are acting in the opposite directions (180 degrees apart), the magnitude of resultant force would simply be the difference in the magnitude of the two forces. ... The magnitude of the resultant will be 10 + (-20) = -10 N.
