Do you add or subtract if forces are acting on an object in the same direction?
add
What does the motion of an object look like after the forces acting on it end?
We don't know what the forces were or in what direction, and we don't know anything about the object. So we have no idea what its motion looks like when the forces end. But we do know that whatever speed it has and whatever direction it's moving at the instant the forces stop, it'll continue in the same direction at the same speed from then on.
Which type of forces cause changes in speed and direction?
Any force that is not canceled by an equal opposite force.
What are complementary forces?
When different kinds of internal forces act on a structure at the very same time
How do you figure out net force for opposing forces?
If the opposing forces are pulling exactly opposite of each other, then take the difference of the magnitudes of the two forces (subtract the smaller value from the larger value), and the direction vector of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.
What are forces reinforce each other?
That would be forces that act in the same direction, or more or less in the same direction.
How do you compute the net force of forces acting in the same direction?
In the same direction, you simply add them
How two forces are added if they are not concurrent but are acting in same direction?
how two forces are added if they are not concurrent but are acting in same direction
How do you determine the net force on an objects if all forces act in the same direction?
If all of the individual forces on an object act in the same direction, then the net force on it is simply the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces, and is in the same direction as all of them.
How do you solve for the resultant if two forces are in the same direction?
If two forces are in the same direction, then their resultant is also in the same direction, and its magnitude is the sum of the two components' magnitudes.
How are the size and direction of action-reaction forces are related?
Size: the same. Direction: the forces are in opposite directions.
Are 2 forces going in the same direction balanced?
No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
What two forces act in the same direction?
The forces add together.
What is the Difference between like and unlike parallel forces?
Forces which are parallel and acting in same direction are called like parallel forces. Forces which are parallel and acting in opposite direction are called unlike parallel forces.
How do you find the net force of two forces in the same direction?
Add the forces together, F1 + F2 = F. The result F is in the same direction.
How do you find the net force when two forces act the same direction?
If many forces act in the same direction on an object, then the net force is their sum.
Are there any forces acting on you in the direction you are moving?
Maybe, maybe not. Forces don't happen because you're moving ... forces are what cause you to move. If there are no forces acting on you, then you keep moving whichever way you're moving, and your speed or direction don't change. If there are forces acting on you, then your speed and/or direction can change. If the force is in the same direction that you're already moving, you'll move faster (accelerate). If the force is in the direction opposite to the direction you're moving, then your speed will decrease. Does any of this sound surprising ???
