Homework Statement
Find the net force of
3.4 N i + 3.0 N j
and
3.4 N i + -3.0 N j
I entered 6.8 N i + 0 N j,
It's marking 6.8 as incorrect. Why? Do you not just sum the components??

For one thing, they ask for the acceleration, not the net force.1MileCrash said:Then I am thoroughly confused, I'm getting all of the problems wrong and they seem pretty straightforward.
1MileCrash said:So, does that mean that I should divide my net force by the mass scalar value?
The net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces acting on it.
To find the net force, you need to add together all the individual forces acting on an object. If the forces are acting in the same direction, you simply add them together. If they are acting in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger one.
The net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces. The total force, on the other hand, is the sum of all the forces acting on an object, regardless of their direction.
Yes, the net force can be zero if all the individual forces acting on an object cancel each other out. This means that the object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant speed in the same direction.
The net force determines how an object will move. If the net force is zero, the object will not accelerate and will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant speed. If the net force is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
