No, they are always in the same direction, as expressed in Newton's Second Law, which is usually expressed as: F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). In this equation, acceleration is a vector, so when multiplying it by a mass (which is NOT a vector), you get another vector that points in the same direction.
What else can I help you with?
When you add equal forces excerted in opposite directions the net force does what?
Zero
How do you find the net force when two forces act in opposite directions?
by subbracting
How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite?
You subtract the smaller force from the larger one.
If 2 force act on the object in the same or opposite directions what willbe the net force of the object in 2 cases?
There is no net force OF the object. If the forces act in the same direction, the net force is magnitude of the net force is the sum of the forces and acts in the same direction. If the forces act in opposite directions, the magnitude of the net force will be the difference between their magnitudes and it will act in the direction of the larger of the two forces.
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.
Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?
No, the acceleration of an object is in the direction of the net force applied to it. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the same direction. If the net force is opposite to the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction.
How are equilibrium and net force related?
In a system at equilibrium, the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the forces acting in opposite directions cancel each other out, resulting in no acceleration of the system. If the net force is not zero, the system will experience acceleration in the direction of the net force until equilibrium is reached.
What can you say about the direction of the acceleration and the force that produces it?
Acceleration always occurs in the direction of the net force acting on an object. If the net force and acceleration have the same direction, the object speeds up; if they have opposite directions, the object slows down. The relationship between acceleration and the force that produces it is described by Newton's second law of motion.
Can an object have a net force opposite to the direction of its acceleration?
No. Acceleration is always in the direction of net force.The deceptively simple equation that shows this is [ F = m A ].' F ' (force) and ' A ' (acceleration) are vectors. The equation says that not only isthe size of ' F ' equal to the sizeof ' mA ', but their directions are also the same.
When force arrows are in opposite directions what do you do?
When force arrows are in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force to find the net force acting on the object.
Forces acting in opposite directions combine by?
Forces acting in opposite directions combine by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force to determine the net force.
When force arrows are in opposite directions what do you do to find the net force?
When force arrows are in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force to find the net force. If one force is greater than the other, the net force will be in the direction of the larger force.
What is the net force if you push a cart to the right with N of force and a friend pushes the cart to the left with N of force?
The net force on the crate is 70 N to the left while it's moving to the left, and 20 N to the right while it's moving to the right. If the 100N force and the 50N force are acting on it at the same time, then the net force on the crate is 20 N towards the left.
What force causes something to accelerate or decelerate?
Acceleration or deceleration is caused by a net force acting on an object. When the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, it causes acceleration. When the net force is in the opposite direction, it causes deceleration.
When you combine forces in two opposite directions?
When forces are combined in two opposite directions, they create a net force that is the difference between the two forces. If one force is stronger, the net force will be in the direction of the stronger force. If the forces are equal, the net force will be zero, resulting in a state of equilibrium.
What is the net force and acceleration of a ball of mass 0.750 kilograms that is subjected to forces of 11.00 newtons and 7.00 newtons from opposite directions?
The net force is the difference between the two forces: 11.00 N - 7.00 N = 4.00 N. The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law (F=ma), so the acceleration of the ball would be 5.33 m/s^2 (4.00 N / 0.750 kg).
When equal forces are acting on one object in opposite directions are called?
Neutral or in equilibrium
