Question

We must __________ forces to calculate net force if the forces are going in OPPOSITE directions.

Answer 1

Answer:

subtract

Explanation:

To find the net force of two bodies going in opposite directions, we must subtract the forces this is because they are not additive forces.

• The net force is the resultant force acting on a body.
• This resultant force is the single force that will produce the same effects as all given forces.
• When forces are directed oppositely on a body, they are subtracted from each other to find the net force.
