You must know the the direction so then you know if you either subtract or add.
For example , if the the direction of the force is in opposite then you would have to subract each net force.

∙ 14y agoIf you know the net force on an object, you can determin the effect of the net force on the objects motion. (I got this answer from my text book. Therefore, it's right)

Why is UseFul know to the net force?
If you know the net force on an object, you can determin the effect of the net force on the objects motion. (I got this answer from my text book. Therefore, it's right)
What must you know about an object that is moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
A book weighing 10 Newtons is at rest on a flat table What is the total net force on the book?
Since the book is not accelerating, we know that the net force on it is zero.
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
What do you call the overall force acting on an object?
It is referred to as the Net Force.To get the Net Force, one must add and subtract all of the forces acting on an object.So for an object at rest sitting on a table or some other surface, one knows the net force would be 0 Newtons.So, once you find the force of gravity, you know that the normal force will be equal to the force of gravity.It would be the net force.

Why is it useful to know net force?
you can the effect of the net force in the object motion
How do you find the net force of a shopping cart that you already know the acceleration?
The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.
What Combination of all of the force acting on an object?
This would be known as the net-force.
What must you know about an object Moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
What must you know about an object that is moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?
Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.
A book weighing 10 Newtons is at rest on a flat table What is the total net force on the book?
Since the book is not accelerating, we know that the net force on it is zero.
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
What happens to the acceleration of an object if you increase the force of an object?
From Newton's Second Law of Motion, I know that Fnet=manet. anet is the net acceleration. From this equation, I know that Fnet is proportional to anet. THis means that if I decrease the net force, I decrease the net acceleration. If I increase the net force, I increase the net acceleration. If your Fnet equation is Fnet=Fapp-Ff, then increasing the applied force would also increase the net acceleration. Therefore, more applied fore, more acceleration.
What do you call the overall force acting on an object?
It is referred to as the Net Force.To get the Net Force, one must add and subtract all of the forces acting on an object.So for an object at rest sitting on a table or some other surface, one knows the net force would be 0 Newtons.So, once you find the force of gravity, you know that the normal force will be equal to the force of gravity.It would be the net force.
