It is the vector sum of the forces

Net force is the vector sum of the forces.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The net force can be referred as the sum total of all the forces exerted up on a body. The word net refers to the total, hence net force refers to the total force which exerted upon the object.

A force is related as the displacement experienced by an object due to external factors or interaction acting up on the object. Option A,B and C are irrelevant as they are separate forces exerted up on the object.

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

Comets travel in orbits around the Sun. Some comets take less than 200 years to orbit the Sun. They are called short-period come
Anna [14]
Comets<span> are small, irregularly shaped bodies in the solar system composed mainly of ice and dust that typically measure a few kilometers across. They travel around the sun in very elliptical orbits that bring them very close to the Sun, and then send them out past Neptune. There are two categories of comet, based on the amount of time they take to orbit the Sun. Short-period comets take less than 200 years, and long-period comets take over 200 years, with some taking 100,000 to 1 million years to orbit the Sun. The short-period comets are found near the ecliptic, which means they are orbiting the Sun in same plane as the planets. The short-period comets are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt, an area outside Neptune's orbit (from about 30 to 50 AU) that has many icy comet-like objects. The long-period comets tend to have orbits that are randomly oriented, and not necessarily anywhere near the ecliptic. They are thought to originate in the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud has never been observed, but is believed to have at least 10</span>12<span>icy objects located between 3000 AU and 100,000 AU in a spherical distribution around the Sun.</span>

If a cotton ball is dropped from 12 meters with air resistance, what will be the velocity and acceleration at t = 1.00 s?
kifflom [539]
That depends on the weight, shape, size, density, and moisture content
of the cotton ball, as well as on the length, shape, thickness, and surface
texture of every little cotton fiber sticking out of it.

Now you know why we typically ignore air resistance when we work with
objects falling in gravity.
