Equal force acting in oppose direction?
You just stated the 3rd law of newton which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This basically means that anything you do has to be reacted upon back. even more simply put, if an action has to take place (like jumping from a boat) then an equal force of action acting in the opposite direction also has to take place (the boat moves back).
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.
When two forces are acting in the opposite direction how do you calculate the net force?
gravity
What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the opposite direction to the movement?
Since the opposite force is the strongest the object will tend to change direction of the object.Thats one of the effects of force.
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction in the same as adding a?
Forces are vector quantities. This means they have both a magnitude and direction associated with them. If you add vectors going in the opposite directions it is the same as subtracting one from the other. Therefore, the resultant force is the difference between the forces.
What offsets an action force?
A force of equal magnitude, acting in the opposite direction.
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force in another direction is the same as adding a?
as adding a ".... in the opposite direction.
What is adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction called?
It is the same as adding a positive and adding a negative number
What is the upwars force acting on an object?
The upward force acting on an object is the normal force. It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction to the object's weight.
Equal force acting in oppose direction?
You just stated the 3rd law of newton which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This basically means that anything you do has to be reacted upon back. even more simply put, if an action has to take place (like jumping from a boat) then an equal force of action acting in the opposite direction also has to take place (the boat moves back).
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction is the same as adding what?
A negative force. Since the force added in the opposite direction works against the original force, you would subtract the added force from the original force. Since subtracting a positive is the same thing as adding a negative, this force would be considered negative to the positive direction.
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.
Why would a force be unbalanced?
In principle, any force acting on an object is unbalanced, UNLESS there is a second force in the opposite direction, acting on the same object.
When two forces are acting in the opposite direction how do you calculate the net force?
gravity
What is it called when a force is equal in strength but opposite in direction to an action force?
It is called a reaction force. The question you have asked is paraphrase of Newton's third law of motion. Action and reaction are always equal but opposite in direction.
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite dierection is the same as adding what?
A negative force. Since the force added in the opposite direction works against the original force, you would subtract the added force from the original force. Since subtracting a positive is the same thing as adding a negative, this force would be considered negative to the positive direction.
How do you find the net force when force are acting in opposite direction?
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.
