Question

what will be the net force on an object when 2 forces act on it in the opposite direction

Answer 1

Explanation:

forces acting on the object in the opposite directions are equal. The net force will be the difference of the two equal forces. Since both the forces are equal, net force is zero.

Answer 2

$\large\bigstar{\pmb{\frak{Required\:Answer:-}}}$

• the net force will be zero if both the forces have equal magnitude

$\large\bigstar{\pmb{\frak{Explanation:-}}}$

• when two forces of equal magnitude are applied over an object in the opposite then the net force will be zero because both the forces cancel out each other's effect and the object does not move. Hence, the overall force is 0.
