Net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account both magnitude and direction. It is the sum of all the individual forces acting on an object.
To find net force, we use the formula Fnet = m x a, where Fnet is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration. This formula takes into account both the mass and acceleration of the object.
Yes, net force can be negative. This simply indicates that the forces acting on the object are in opposite directions, resulting in a net force that is smaller than the individual forces.
Velocity does not directly affect net force. However, it is a component of the formula for calculating net force (Fnet = m x a). Therefore, changes in velocity can result in changes in net force if the mass or acceleration of the object also change.
Yes, net force can be greater than the individual forces acting on an object. This occurs when the forces are acting in the same direction, resulting in a combined force that is larger than either individual force.
