Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
A force of 10 N is applied to a 2 kg object. What is the net force acting on the object if it is also experiencing a frictional force of 4 N?
Step 1: Identify the applied force on the object, which is 10 N.
Step 2: Identify the frictional force acting against the motion of the object, which is 4 N.
Step 3: To find the net force, subtract the frictional force from the applied force.
Step 4: Calculate the net force: 10 N (applied force) - 4 N (frictional force) = 6 N.
Step 5: The net force acting on the object is 6 N.
Net Force Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the net force acting on an object by considering both applied forces and opposing forces such as friction.
Frictional Force – Recognizing the role of friction as a force that opposes motion and how it affects the net force on an object.
