What do you mean
net or resultant force?
Find the net force went to forces of magnitude 10
in and 5N on a body in the same direction. Will the net force change if both
forces are applied in opposite directions?
Answers
Answer:
Net force or resultant of all forces on a body acting in different directions .
the net direction of that force is given by using vectors .
Explanation:
Case 1 :- 2 force in same direction
Net force = 10 + 5 = 15 N
Case 2 :- Force in opposite direction
If I reverse direction of 5 N then ;
Net force = 10 - 5 = 5 N .
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The sum of all the forces acting on the object is called the net or resultant force.
The two forces are acting in the same direction. Hence, the net force will be the sum of the two forces.
Net force = 5N +10 N
=15 N.
Yes, the net force will change if the direction of the force changes. If the force is applied in the opposite direction, then the net force will be the difference of the two forces.
Hope it helps....
