What happens when forces act in the opposite directions?

If they are equal in values - nothing. Otherwise, it will move to the same direction as the direction of the greater force.

How do you find the net force when forces are acting in opposite directions?

You must first choose which direction you shall call positive, thereby the opposite direction shall be negative. Then you add these two values together to get your answer, the total net force.


What is the significance of negative values of voltages and currents?

Direction only. If you reverse the connections to your voltmeter or ammeter you get the same size readings but the directions are indicated to be the opposite way around, by reversal of sign.

In fact, laws can be establish because of values. People creat laws depending on the values of their society, so values change laws.


How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?

The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.


What is absolute value of number?

The absolute value is its distance from zero on a number line. So, for an example, the absolute value of both +6 and -6 is 6, as both values are 6 units away from zero although they are in opposite directions.


What is the resultant velocity if the kph for west is 1400 and the velocity for east is 20 kph?

Because the two velocities are in the opposite directions, you can directly subtract their numeric values. (1400 - 20) kph in the larger velocities direction. The answer is 1380 kph West.


What is the difference in the X values of two points on the line?

The difference in the x-values of two points on a line is called the run. This term is used in math when finding slope of a line. The change in y-values on a line is called the rise. The slope is given as rise divided by the run.
