A resultant force is more commonly known as a net force. According to newton's second law of motion the net force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. The net force can also be found out using vector addition.

Are the forces on a see saw balanced?
Only if both ends are at the same height. If a resultant force is more on one side than on the other side, then that will cause the side with the higher resultant to accelerate downwards or upwards, depending on the direction of the resultant force. The forces would be unbalanced in that system.
What is the mathematical formula in getting the acceleration mass and force?
Force = Mass x Acceleration Note that the "Force" here refers to the resultant force if there is more than one force acting on the object.
For any object the greater the force that's applied to it the greater its?
By Newton's second law, the resultant force on a body is equal to the rate of change of that body's momentum. Therefore, increasing the resultant force increases the rate of change of momentum. If the body has constant mass this is equivalent to saying that increasing the resultant force increases the body's acceleration.
What 2 things does the moment of a force depend on?
What two factors must be known in order to calculate the moment of a force? Torque = Force * distance Torque and distance must be perpendicular to each other If not you must determine the portion of the torque that is perpendicular.
What is a unit used to measure force?
Force is got by the product of mass and acceleration. So unit has to be kg m s-2 But it is simplified as newton and written as N. So force is measured in newton. If 4 N and 3 N act perpendicular to each other then the resultant will be 5 N.
What is meant by the resultant in physics?
The Resultant force in Physics is the vector solution (sum) of multiple individual forces acting on a common point in space and time.
How to find resultant force?
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
What is the effect of increasing the angle between the strings on the resultant?
It is difficult to answer the question with any degree of certainty because there is no information on what the strings are meant to be doing, and to what. A likely answer is that the resultant will be a smaller force.
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
What are the sum of all forces acting on an object?
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
What is the magnitude of resultant force in case of concurrent force in equilibrium?
The magnitude of the resultant force in the case of the concurrent forces in equilibrium.
Which motion does a couple produce?
It has a resultant moment but does not have resultant force.
What is the resultant force in each if A 100 pound force to the west and a 50 pound force in the same direction?
A 150 pound resultant force
A single force whose external effects on a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body?
Resultant force
A resultant vector is?
a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
What is the overall force acting on an object?
the resultant force
