If two forces are acting on the same object in the same direction how would you figure out the net force?

Drawing a free body diagram, the forces you care for are the ones in the same direction. Now drawing a vector addition diagram, we know that the first force vector plus the second force vecotr equals the resultant force vector. Therefore, the net force is equal to the value of the first force plus the value of the second force.

Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 8y agoTo calculate the net force of two ore more forces acting in the same direction, simply add them
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYou add the two forces, f1D1 + f2D1 =(f1+f2)D1.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoIn that case you simply add the magnitudes.

What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
What are the 3 things forces can do when acting on an object?
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's what?
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
Can an object that has balanced forces acting on it be standing still?
If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.
When are all the forces acting upon an object balanced?
when the system is at equilibrium or when you are not moving in any direction at all
When finding the net force why muist you know the direction of the forces acting on the object?
i have no idea... im trying to figure it out...
Can forces acting on an object change speed direction or both?
Both.
Do you add or subtract if forces are acting on an object in the same direction?
add
Explain Can there be forces acting on an object if the object is a rest?
Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.
If you push an object in a forward direction does its velocity have to be forward?
No. It depends on what other forces are acting on the object.
if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
What are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions are called balanced forces. If they are on the same line of action, they are called couple forces.
What is determined by combining forces?
this is the net resultant force acting on the object, taking into account all of the forces acting, their strength and direction.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
What occurs in an objects position when acted on by an unbalanced force?
First of all, there's no such thing as an unbalanced force. A group of forces maybe balanced or unbalanced, but the forces themselves aren't.An unbalanced group of forces acting on an object causes the object's velocityto change. That means the speed or direction of its motion changes. It doesn'ttell you anything about the object's position. In order to figure that out, you'dhave to know what its speed and direction were before the unbalanced groupof forces began acting on it, and you'd also need to know the object's mass.
