Question

Which best explains parallel forces?

Answer 1

Answer:

when the parallel force system is a situation in which two forces of equal magnitude act in the same direction within the same plane, -and the parallel forces lie in the same plane and have lines of action

Explanation:

Answer 2

Which best explains parallel forces? Check all that apply.

a. left and right forces that can be added together

b. right and upward forces that cancel each other out

c. upward and downward forces that can be added together

d. left and downward forces that cancel each other out

e. addition of parallel forces that cannot result in a negative force

f. differences in parallel forces that result in a net force of zero

ANSWER:

a.  left and right forces that can be added together

b. upward and downward forces that can be added together

Explanation:

• Parallel forces are a condition wherein, within the same plane, two equal magnitude forces act in the very same direction with the opposite (counter) force in the middle. Two parallel forces can either be in the opposite direction or same direction .
• For example, A see-saw, where two children apply the 2 forces at  each end, and the fulcrum in the center gives the counter (opposite) force so as to maintain the see-saw in a neutral position. Another example an airplane in flight, its major vertical forces are referred to as parallel forces
