An experimental rocket sled can be accelerated at a constant rate from rest to 1000 km/h in 1.8 s. What is the magnitude of the required net force if the sled has a mass of 700 kg?
help please!
help please!
The magnitude of net force is the numerical value of the total force acting on an object, taking into account both the direction and strength of all individual forces.
The magnitude of net force can be calculated by adding together all the individual forces acting on an object in the same direction. If there are forces acting in opposite directions, the difference between them is calculated to determine the net force.
The magnitude of net force is important because it determines how an object will move. If the net force is zero, then the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity. If the net force is greater than zero, then the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
The magnitude of net force is typically measured in Newtons (N), which is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It can also be measured in other units such as pounds (lb) or dynes (dyn), depending on the system of measurement being used.
Yes, the magnitude of net force can be negative if there are forces acting in opposite directions. The negative sign indicates that the forces are acting in opposite directions and the net force is calculated by finding the difference between the two forces. However, the actual magnitude of net force is always a positive value.
