How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite direction?

Sagot :

Subtract one from the to find the magnitude. Whether it's positive or negative will determine the direction.

Answer:

Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, the forces are equal and opposite in magnitude (distance and direction).

Explanation:

For example, if a box has 3 Newtons for force pushing to the left, and 3 Newtons pushing to the right, the net force would be zero, because they cancel each other out. But, if there is 3 Newtons pushing left and 2 Newtons pushing right, the net force would be 1 Newton to the left.
