What are two forces that act apun a boat when floating on water?
Gravity and Buoyancy
What forces act on a floating boat?
gravity and upthrust.
What are the two forces that act on a stationary boat that is afloat?
The two forces that act are the weight of the boat (mass times gravity) and the upthrust of the water. If the boat is in equilibrium on the water (e.g. not sinking) then upthrust will equal weight
When 2 forces act in the same direction do the forces cancel each other out?
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
What two forces act in the same direction?
The forces add together.
What forces act on a moving boat?
Centripetal, Centrifugal, Upthrust, Drag, Gravity, Air Resistance and Thrust.
What forces act upon arch bridges?
Tension and compression are the two forces that act upon a bridge.
When you throw a ball what happens can you explain what two forces act on the ball?
The two forces that act on the ball after it leaves your hand are gravity and air resistance.
What two forces make a toy boat float?
gravity bouyancy
How the condition for two force system to be equivalent?
That depends on the direction of the forces. If the two forces act in the same direction, the resultant force will be doubled and if the two forces act in the oppsite direction, the resultant force will be null or zero.
When two forces act in the same act in the same direction they are?
Parallel
When two forces act equally on an object in opposite directions it is called?
balanced Forces
