Question

When two forces of magnitude 10N & 5N acts on an object in the same direction, what is the net force

Answer 1

The net force acting on the object = (5 + 10) N = 15 N in the direction of the two forces.

Answer 2

GIVEN :-

• two forces of magnitude 10N and 5N acts on an object in the same direction.

TO FIND :-

• The net force

SOLUTION :-

Let , F1 = 10N

⇒ F2 = 5n

Note :- In in unbalanced force acting in the same direction the net force is combined by addition.

⇒ Net Force = F1 + F2

⇒ F1 + F2

⇒10N + 5N

⇒ 15 N

Hence the net force is 15 N.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :-

➵ Un - Balanced force is always non zero (≠0)

➵ Un - Balanced force mainly to change state of rest or motion of an object.
