What happens when two forces of different magnitude and opposite direction act on a abject?
The difference in size of the forces is calculated, that will then be the force acting in the direction of the larger force. Force1= 3 N <--- Force2 = 10 N ----------> Resultant Force = 7 N ------->
What is physics magnitude?
In Physics 'language'... Magnitude = Size
What determines the size of a frictional force?
The size of the normal force and coefficient of friction determines the size of frictional force.
Does force have size?
yes force has size. it also has direction
What is total force in physics?
Total force (or net force) is the vector sum of the individual forces. Huh? OK, if all forces are along the x-axis, you add the positive forces and subtract the negative forces -- force is a vector, a quantity having a size and a direction.
How does the resultant force relate to the acceleration of the boat?
resultant force is the overall size of force acting on the object. the acceleration increases the amount of newton so the resultant becomes increased. the force realating to the accelaration of the boat is the amount of increasiment in the newtons. hope this helps everyone please appreciate this time as i have sprent an hour for this answer
What 2 things does the moment of a force depend on?
What two factors must be known in order to calculate the moment of a force? Torque = Force * distance Torque and distance must be perpendicular to each other If not you must determine the portion of the torque that is perpendicular.

Can the resultant of two vectors be 0?
Yes, but only if the size of the two vectors are the same but their direction is opposite.
