In many physical situations, an object will be subject to many different forces such as gravity, friction or an external force. Finding the sum of these forces ultimately indicates if the object will move and in what direction it will move in. The sum of all forces that act upon an object is known as the net force. It can be found by simply adding individual force vectors together.

The $\boxed{{\text{net}}}$ force is the sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

Further Explanation:

The force acting on a body is the effort applied on the body in order to change the state of the body. A pull or a push applied on a body is called as the force acting on the particular body.

The net force acting on a body is considered as the sum of all the forces acting on the body. If we consider a body on which a force on $10\,{\text{N}}$ is acting in forward direction and another force of $5\,{\text{N}}$ is acting in the backward direction.

Then, the net force acting on the body will be $5\,{\text{N}}$ in the forward direction. It means that the net force will be sum of all the forces considered along with the direction of the force acting on the body.

If two equal forces act on a body in the opposite directions, then the net force acting on the body will be zero. But in this situation we cannot say that there is no force acting on the body because there are two forces acting on the body whose resultant force is zero.

One situation is force applied to a moving object in the direction of its motion. The second situation is force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion. The third situation of force creating can be force that is applied to an object in motion that comes from arbitrary directions.

State any two effects of gravitational force

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Well concluding there is no gravity their motions would be slow and lightweighted. Let's say they were playing on Earth it would approximately take around 5 to 6 minutes even less, so in space it will approximately take around 10 to 12 minutes may be more but this is just my opinion after using my calculator! Hope this helped!
