Question

Two forces are applied to a body in the same direction. How do we combine these forces?

  1. Subtract them
  2. Add them
  3. Multiply them
  4. Divide one by another

hintHint:

In this case, the net force is always greater than either of the individual forces

The correct answer is: Add them


    • If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the two forces.
    • In this case, the net force is always greater than either of the individual forces.
    • The net force acting on an object is the combination of all of the individual forces acting on it.
    • Therefore, we add them.
