or right of the sun depending on the present position of the moon and the other planets in the solar system.

What is the direction of the net force on a falling sky diver before reaching terminal velocity?
If he's moving with constant velocity, then the net force on him is zero. The force of gravity must be exactly balanced by the force of kinetic friction between him and the air.
What is the direction of the net force acting on the object at position A?
The net force is zero.
What is the net force when you combine a force of 13N to the north and 17N to the south?
Take north to be the positive direction, and south to be the negative direction. Net force = 13N + (-17N) = -4N Net force = 4N to the south.
How do you find the net force when the forces are going in the same direction?
You add them together. If there is no other force in the opposite direction it is also recognized as zero.
What is the net force of 5.0 N force and an 8.0 N force acting in opposite dirrection?
You can't, unless you know both of their directions. -- If they're in the same direction, then the net force is 10N in that same direction. -- If they're in opposite directions, then the net force is zero, and the direction doesn't matter because there's no net force. -- Depending on their directions, those two forces can combine to produce a net force of anything between zero and 10 N, in any direction. So you need to know their directions in order to figure out what the net force is.
10 examples of law of acceleration?
-- A car accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the car. -- A stone accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the stone. -- A Frisbee accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the Frisbee. -- A baseball accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the baseball. -- A dog accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the dog. -- A book accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the book. -- A canoe accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the canoe. -- An airplane accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the airplane. -- A planet accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the planet. -- A cow accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the cow.
An object acted upon by a net force will accelerate in the direction of that force?
Newton's Second Law of Motion ...im pretty sure lol xD hope I helped!
When the net force an object is greater than zero the object will accelerate in the direction of the?
The acceleration will be in the direction of the net force.
What is the direction of the net force on a falling sky diver before reaching terminal velocity?
If he's moving with constant velocity, then the net force on him is zero. The force of gravity must be exactly balanced by the force of kinetic friction between him and the air.
What is the direction of the net force acting on the object at position A?
The net force is zero.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
Find the direction of the net gravitational force exerted on the spacecraft by the earth and moon?
It is very easy to find the direction of net force exerted by Earth and Moon on a Space craft. Suppose Earth is at "0" point of 3-D coordinate system. Now say X1, Y1, Z1 are the coordinate of the Moon and X2, Y2, Z2 are the coordinates of Space craft. Now say M1, M2, and M3 are the mass of Earth, Moon and Space Craft respectively. Now calculate the gravitational force exerted by Earth and Moon separately in X,Y,Z directions. Now Vectorial SUM of the above force is the net force and resultant vector is the direction of net Gravitational force on the Space craft.
Would you use a balanced force or a net force to change the direction of the moving object?
net force
What is the net force when you combine a force of 13N to the north and 17N to the south?
Take north to be the positive direction, and south to be the negative direction. Net force = 13N + (-17N) = -4N Net force = 4N to the south.
How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it?
Acceleration is proportional to net force.That means that acceleration is equal to (net force) times (something).The 'something' is [ 1 / (the mass of the object being accelerated by the force) ].
How do you find the net force when the forces are going in the same direction?
You add them together. If there is no other force in the opposite direction it is also recognized as zero.
How are acceleration and net force alike?
They are both vector quantities and acceleration is in the direction of the net force.
