Net force is defined as the overall force acting on an object. When a cat sleeps on a table, the net force on it is zero. When a body is at rest the net force acting on the body is zero.

When two dogs are pulling on the same bone in opposite directions what are they producing?
a net force
How do Newton's laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat running?
The force you exert through your legs onto the ground (as well as a lean forward to create an angle other than 90) will denote a horizontal acceleration, allowing you to run. Newton's 2nd law is:F_net= m*aOr,Force = mass*accelerationThe speed in which you run (well, accelerate) is directly proportional to the force you exert and inversely proportional to your mass.
Why do balloons stick to a cat?
Static electricity. When a cat rubs against a balloon, electrons are transferred between the thin rubber of the balloon and the cat's fur, with the result that each of the two ends up with a net charge. These charges are opposite -- one positive and the other negative -- and so they attract. As both balloon rubber and cat fur are insulators, in dry air the charge does not drain away, and so the balloon sticks to the cat for a while.

How much does a hummingbird cost?
In order to answer the question correctly, I got out my small net that I use to catch grasshoppers for fishing. I went and waited by one of my Hummingbird feeders and when a Humming bird flew up, I caught it in my net. I took it out of the net and snipped it's wings off with my scissors. I brought the wings in and weighed them on my Lab scale. Each wing weighed 1.5764 grams each, both weighed 3.1528 Grams. I went back outside to see if I could sew the wings back on the Hummingbird, but it was rinning across the lawn with the cat after it. Before I could get it, the cat ate it. I hope you are happy with the weights I gave you.
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.
You exerta force of 100N on a table and your friend exerts a force of 75N in the same directionwhat is the net force that you and your friend exert on the desk?
175N
How can there be force without acceleration?
To get an acceleration, there has to be a net force - and conversely, if there is a net force, there is acceleration. In many common situations, there are two or more forces that cancel one another - the vector sum of the forces is zero, and therefore there is (by definition) no net force, and no acceleration. Here is one example. A book lies on the table. Gravity pulls the book down, but the book doesn't accelerate downward. What is the counter-force? It has to be the table pushing the book up. (Of course, by Newton's Third Law, if the book pushes down against the table, then the table pushes up against the book.)
What Combination of all of the force acting on an object?
This would be known as the net-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.
Is acceleration due to gravity act on a body resting on a table zero?
no,but the table exerts an equal & opposite force so net force is zero.
Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?
Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
What are the sum of all forces acting on an object?
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
How are interference and net force related?
Net force and interference are related because net force is a force and interference is putting a force on something.
What difference of force and net force?
force is a push or pull. net force is the overall force on an object.
What is net external force?
The Net external forces is the result force of two objects acting upon it. So if like two forces act on a book. One force exerts downward on the book and the other force pushes the table back on the book with the same amount of push and pull. Since both forces are pushing on each other with the same amount of energy the resultant force or net external force will be in equilibrium or zero.
