Can You help me understand how to calculate net force please

To start off.. add any and all the vectors acting on the same axis (x and y), making sure to pay attention to the director of the vectors. you are often able to ignore many of the forces that cancel each other out. make sure to focus on the forces that are actualy involved in how the object will move. Then you calculate the net force acting on the object in the situation
Since nothing is happening along the y-axis, you can ignore the Fg (300N)and FN (20N) forces.

FNET = Fa + Ff

= 80N + -70N

FNET = 10N

you have to make the friction a negative force
because it is pointing in the direction opposite to the applied force.

When you want to calculate the acceleration of an object, always use the net force acting on it.

you aren’t subtracting the two forces.
Instead, it’s up to you to remember that if one of the forces is pointing in one direction (like to the right), and the other force is pointing in the other direction (like to the left), you will need to make one positive and the other negative.

i don’t really know how to explain this super well. i hope this helps!!

How much gravitational force do two lead balls with a mass of 8 kilograms, the centers of mass of which are 17 cm apart, affect
Arisa [49]

Answer:

1.48×10⁻⁷ Newtons

Explanation:

From the question,

According to newton's law of universal gravitation.

F = Gmm'/r²........................ Equation 1

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, m = mass of the first ball, m' = mass of the second ball, r = distance between the balls.

Given: m = m' = 8 kg, r = 17 cm = 0.17 m,

Constant : G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F =  (6.67×10⁻¹¹×8×8)/(0.17²)

F = 1.48×10⁻⁷ N

A base is a substance that's the chemical opposite of an acid.<br> True or false
anygoal [31]

True

Explanation:

A base is a substance that is often used as the chemical opposite of an acid.

Both behaves in opposite way to one another.

They can be said to complementary or conjugate chemicals.

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry  theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
  • The lewis theory states that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.
  • Acids turn blue litmus paper red and bases turns red litmus paper blue.

Consider a horse pulling a buggy. Is the
Degger [83]

Yes, it's true.

But 2nd Newton Law always come to play when the horse is to move forward because obviously the forces interact antagonistically and mass has to be accounted for.

That's what I think. Hope it's right, all the best.
