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.

∙ 12y agoThe net force is 3 N in the direction of the 8N force.

∙ 10y agoZero, since the forces are equal and opposite.

If a box has equal and opposite forces acting on it will the box accelerate?
No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.
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 net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?
0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.
What Combination of all of the force acting on an object?
This would be known as the net-force.
When can forces be added together to find the net force upon an object?
Yes, when all the forces acting on a body have been resolved, the final force is known as the 'net force' acting on that body.
When two forces are acting in the opposite direction how do you calculate the net force?
gravity
If a box has equal and opposite forces acting on it will the box accelerate?
No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.
How do you find the net force of two forces acting in opposite directions?
In this case, you can simply subtract one force from the other.
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.
How does friction affects the motion of and object?
Friction acts in the direction opposite to that of the net force acting on the object.
How can you find the net forceif two objects are acting in opposite directions?
You subtract the smaller force from the larger force and use the direction of the larger force.
Is 5 net force greater than -7 net force?
No , it is less than -7N force , Negative sign with a 7 N force tells us that it is acting in a direction opposite to that of motion of the body or ,.......
The is the combination of all forces acting on an object?
that is called the net force; it is a vector sum of all the forces acting on it
How do you find the net force forces acting in the 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.
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.
How do you combine unequal forces acting in opposite directions?
By adding a positive force to a negative force and determining which side has a greater strength will determine the net force.
What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?
0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out.
