To calculate net force, you simply add up all the forces acting on an object, considering both their magnitude (how strong they are) and their direction (which way they push or pull). Here’s a simplified approach:
- Identify all forces acting on the object.This can include gravity, friction, applied forces, etc.
- Determine the direction of each force.Forces in the same direction are added together. Forces in opposite directions are subtracted.
- Add forces together based on their direction. If two forces are going in opposite directions (one is positive, the other negative), subtract them.
- The result is the net force.
