Consider a series of motion scenarios. Each scenario is accompanied by a short description and an arrow indicating the instantan
eous velocity. Assume that air resistance is negligible in every scenario. The only forces present in each scenario are gravity, surface (or normal) forces, and friction if indicated. Place the appropriate arrow, or zero, next to each scenario to indicate the direction of the net force acting on the block.
The resultant force is obtained by taking into account the magnitude and direction of all the forces involved.
<h3>What is motion?</h3>
Motion refers to change in position with respect to time. The instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a given time during motion.
Since force is a vector quantity, we must note that the net force will point in a given direction after taken all other forces into account. The net/resultant force is the force tat will have the same effect in magnitude and direction as all the forces taken together.
