Answer Both Questions
1) Two forces, both measuring 6N, push a block at a 0 degree angle. What is the net force being pushed on the block?
2) Two forces, both measuring 6N, push a block at opposite angles. What is the net force being pushed on the block?
1) F=6N Because both forces are pushing the block at the same angle, you must add the vectors together.
F(net)=F(1)+F(2)
F(net)=6N+6N
F(net)=12N
2) F=6N Because both forces are pushing the block at opposite angles, you must subtract the vectors.
F(net)=F(1)-F(2)
F(net)=6N-6N
F(net)=0N
