What is the net force produced by a 40 newton force and a 50 newton force if the forces act in opposite directions?

The result of a 40 newton force acting on one direction and a 50 newton force acting in the opposite direction would be a net force of 10 newtons, acting in the same direction as the 50 newton force.
If both forces act in an opposite direction you would take one and subtract from the other.
-50N i 40N i = -10N i you would add their magnitude and get a resultant of 5N. If they were added in acting in the same direction you'd have a resultant of 90N. If they were acting at angles with each other you would have to break them into x, y, and z components, add the x components with the x, y with the y, and z with the z, then take all the new values, square them all, add them, and take the root which would give you your new magnitude.
(x,y,z) + (x',y',z') = (x+x', y+y', z+z') (for the new vector)
the new magnitude would be
Sqrt((x+x')^2+(y+y')^2+(z+z')^2)

∙ 14y agoThe answer is 10 N to the right. Because these are opposing forces, we can simply add them as vectors. Because they are vectors in opposing directions, we subtract the magnitude of one vector from another, as in 40 - 30.

∙ 14y agoThat depends on the angle between the two forces.
The net can be anything from 10 newtons (if they act in exactly opposite directions),
up to 90 newtons (if they act in exactly the same direction).
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoSince the two forces are moving in the same direction, you can just add the two forces together and get 90 N in whatever direction the forces are going.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agothe net force will be 10N to the right
this is because the force to the right is greater by 10N

∙ 15y agothe net force is 30 N to the right.

What is the net force produced by a 15.4 newton force and a 9.2 newton force if both forces are in opposite directions?
The net force is 15.4-9.2=6.2 Newtons in the direction of the 15.4 force.
What is the net force and acceleration of a ball of mass 0.750 kilograms that is subjected to forces of 11.00 newtons and 7.00 newtons from opposite directions?
Net force: Add the forces algebraically. In this case, since they are in opposite directions, you subtract. Acceleration: Use Newton's Second Law: F = ma. Solving for a: a = F/m.
What happens when forces are going in opposite directions?
Assuming the two forces are acting ON THE SAME OBJECT, you can subtract the two forces, to get the net force. Important: This does not apply to Newton's Third Law, since the forces act on DIFFERENT OBJECTS. I mention this because people tend to get this confused.
When forces act in opposite direction?
When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.
If the forces are balanced what is the resulting acceleration?
No. If 2 equal forces are acting on an object in opposite directions it will not accelerate. 10N ->(OBJECT)<-10N = No acceleration. 10N <-(OBJECT)->10N = No acceleration.

The net force is 15.4-9.2=6.2 Newtons in the direction of the 15.4 force.
Newton's third law of motion states that the force pair acting on different objects consists of two forces?
that are equal and in opposite directions
The statement by Newton that for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction is regarded as which of his laws of motion?
The statement by Newton that for every action there is an opposite by equal reaction is regarded as the third of Newton's laws of motion. This means that in every interaction there is actually a pair of forces acting on the two objects that are equal but work in opposite directions.

What would be the net force of an object 10 newton and 15 newton acting in opposite directions of an object?
5 N
Which law of motion describes equal and opposite forces of action and reaction?
Equal and opposite forces was Newton's recognition of equal anti-parallel forces, or the sum of the forces is zero in Equilibrium.
What best describes Newton's third law of motion?
All forces act in pairs of equal and opposite forces....
If two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force will be balanced?
Equal means the forces are of equal magnitude. And they act exactly in opposite directions. Then certainly the resultant effect will be zero. So we say that the forces are set in balanced condition. Hence balanced.
What are paired forces?
Newton's Third Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is an action which is opposed to a previous action?
nothing
What are forces equal in strength but opposite in direction?
It happens when 1 force is having larger magnituge and the other is less in magnitude ........ and then the forces does not balance each other Take the example of weight and tension of a body connected by string . weight and tension are always opposite in the direction if the weight is suppose 12 newton and tension is 10 newton , then same thing will happen , they can't balance each other ...... as the strength of weight is more than tension
