At what point on an object is the force of gravity considered to act?
The force of gravity is considered to act at the center of mass of an object.
What is the only force that can act on an object in free fall?
The only force that can act on an object in free fall is gravity.
An example of acceleration against the direction of motion?
If an object is moving to the right with a velocity vector of 5 m/s, and then a force is applied to the left causing the object to slow down, it experiences acceleration against the direction of motion. This acceleration would act in the left direction, opposing the object's initial motion to the right.
At which point can the weight force be considered to act for an extended object?
The weight force can be considered to act at the center of mass for an extended object.
What are the name of the forces that act on stationary object?
The forces that act on a stationary object are typically the gravitational force pulling the object down and the normal force exerted by the surface supporting the object.
What is the net force if a round object is pushed with 30 N on the right and 20 N on the left?
If the forces act in same direction then by vector addition answer should be 49N . But answer will be different if forces are in different directions .
At what point on an object is the force of gravity considered to act?
The force of gravity is considered to act at the center of mass of an object.
What is the only force that can act on an object in free fall?
The only force that can act on an object in free fall is gravity.
What is true of the resulting net force when two equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions?
Net is zero. If you push to the right with 10 lbs of force, and push to the left with 10 lbs of force, they cancel each other, net movement is zero.
What kinds of forces can act on an object?
Normal force can act on an object

What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
What are the name of the forces that act on stationary object?
The forces that act on a stationary object are typically the gravitational force pulling the object down and the normal force exerted by the surface supporting the object.
What are the three forces that act on an object?
The three forces that act on an object are gravity, friction, and applied force.
Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?
Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.
What is an example of a netforce?
More than one force can act on an object at once. For example, two people could push on a book at the same time. One person could push toward the left and the other could push toward the right. In this case the two forces would act against each other. If the force toward the left was greater than the force toward the right, then the prevailing force would be toward the left. The strength of this prevailing force would be the difference between the strengths of the two separate forces. In this prevailing force is called the net force. Basically, the word net means total. For example, if one person pushed the book with a force of 20 Newtons toward the left, and the other person pushed the book with a force of 18 Newtons toward the right, then that the net force would be 2 Newtons in size and directed toward the left. Here is a picture showing those forces:
