Question

Which of the following describes resistance force?

Answer

A .force applied to the machine

B .force used by the machine

C .force lost by the machine

D .force applied by the machine to overcome resistance

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance force is the force applied by the body or an object to overcome the resistance that is opposing its action

For an example: The body is moving is air. There will be some resistance which is offered by the air on the body to oppose its motion. The force which body will apply to overcome this air resistance will be the resistance force.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Answer 2

I am pretty sure that the following which describes resistance force is the fourth option from the scale represented above : D .force applied by the machine to overcome resistance. I choose this due to the Newton's 3rd law, as the force that shoul be overcome by a machine before it perform its usual work. Do hope you will find it helpful! Regards!
