Take the sum of the forces on the object on the horizontal plane(x-direction) with the positive direction being to the right. The 80 newtons to the right is +80N and the 80 newtons acting to the left is -80N. Add them up, so 80N - 80N = 0 N. The total force acting on the object is 0.

What can you say about an object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces?

An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.


If a force of 5 N to the left and a force of 9 N to the right act on an object what is the net force?

4 Newtons to the right


What s the net force of 212 newtons right and 178 newtons left?

The net force would be 34 newtons to the right. To find the net force, subtract the force going left (178 N) from the force going right (212 N). The resulting difference is the net force.


What are 5 examples of unbalanced forces?

Anything that is accelerating or decelerating because it is only balanced when something is moving at a constant speed.


It takes 9 seconds for a 10 Newton force to move an object 4 meters to the right What are the direction and magnitude of the force?

Direction is to the right. Magnitude is 10 Newtons.


How does unbalanced forces affect an object?

Consider an object in empty space. There are two forces pushing from opposite sides, one force (force A) on the left pushing with 2 newtons of force, the other (force B) on the right pushing with 1 newton. Since force A is pushing with a greater force than force B, the result will be the object moving right. The object is also moving with a force of 1 newton, because force A is 1 newton greater than force B.


If 300-n action force is exerted to the right the reaction force will be?

300 Newtons to the left. Remember, there is an equal and opposite force. So the force is equal, 300 Newtons, and it is opposite (opposite of right is left).


What is the buoyant force of an object that weighs 180 N and floats with three-fourths of its volume beneath the surface of the water?

If it weighs 180 newtons on dry land, and right now it's floating, then right now the buoyant force on itis 180 newtons. It doesn't matter how high or low it's riding in the water.


How do you caclulate the net force?

It's easiest to think about net force in a one dimensional world (a line). Say force 1 is exerting two newtons on the left side of object A (pushing it to the right), and force 2 is exerting 4 newtons on the opposite side of object A. All you have to do is subtract the two forces and you end up with 2 newtons being exerted on the right side of object A, accelerating it to the left. On a plane or in space, it's the same concept. What I find easiest to do, especially for plains, is to plot the forces, using the object as the origin. Then I draw each force vector, but instead of having them all extend off the object, I draw them off one another, e.g. the start of one vector is the end of the previous one. I then calculate the distance between the endpoint of all the vectors and the objects, and that is the net force.


What is newtons first law of motion and what does it state?

The first law deals with forces and changes in velocity. For just a moment, let us imagine that you can apply only one force to an object. That is, you could choose push the object to the right or you could choose to push it to the left, but not to the left and right at the same time, and also not up and to the right at the same time, and so on. Under these conditions the first law says that if an object is not pushed or pulled upon, its velocity will naturally remain constant. This means that if an object is moving along, untouched by a force of any kind, it will continue to move along in a perfectly straight line at a constant speed.


Why A person is applying a force to the right on an object as shown. What forces are acting on the person?

Please someone answer!!!!!


What is the direction of the force when the ball is pushed to the right?

A force on an object in a certain direction will tend to move the object in the same direction. Hence, the force is to the right.
