An object has 16N of force being applied to the right, 16N of force being applied to the left, and 4N of force being applied downward. What is the net force on the object?

Respuesta :

Answer: 4N downward

Explanation: If 16N is applied on both the right and left then the object isn't moving either way, so we are left with 4N.

The net force on the object is 4 N.

What is FORCE?

A force is an effect that can alter an object's motion according to physics. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given

force applied to the right on the object, Fr = 16 N

force applied to the left of the object, Fl = 16 N

force applied downward on the object,Fd  = 4 N

The net horizontal force on the object = Fr-Fl = 16-16 = 0N

The net vertical force on the object = 4N downward

The net force on the object is calculated as;

[tex]F_{net}^{2} = 4^{2} +0\\F_{net}^{2} = 16\\F_{net} = \sqrt{16} \\F_{net} = 4N[/tex]

Therefore, the net force on the object is 4 N.
