Resultant Force is Real Important - Especially for ‘F = ma’ Flashcards
1
Q
How many forces are acting on an object in most real situations?
A
At least two
2
Q
What will these overall effects of these forces decide?
A
The motion of the object - whether it will accelerate or decelerate or stay at a steady speed

A
By just adding or subtracting them
4

A
The resultant Force
5
