Question

When vectors are added or subtracted, the net force is called the _____.

solution

resultant

vector quantity

Answer 1

Answer;

Resultant

When vectors are added or subtracted, the net force is called the resultant force.

Explanation;

• The resultant is the vector sum of two or more vectors. It is the result of adding two or more vectors together.
• Resultant force refers to a single force that is obtained by combining a system of forces acting on a rigid body. It is the total force acting on a body together with their directions.
• Therefore, resultant force is the sum of all forces acting on an object, such that, if F1,F2, and F3 are acting on a given body in the same direction, then the resultant force will be; F1+F2+F3.
