If Kev pulls with 50 N and Adrian pulls with 80 N in opposite directions, what is the total horizontal net force?

Back

30 N

Front

Front

If Jaime and Sam both lift a box exerting 150 N each, and the box weighs 200 N, what is their combined force on the box?

Front

Define 'Net Force'.

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in equilibrium?

Back

An object is in equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero.

Front

If two forces act in opposite directions, how do you calculate the net force?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

Back

Net Force = F1 + F2 + F3 + ... (considering direction)
