Question

What is the net force on an object that has a force pushing downward at 25N and a forcing pushing upward at 10N?

Answer 1

15 N

To find net force just make the two numbers equal

25 not equal to 10

But adding 15 to 10 makes it equal

25 = 10+15

25=25

Answer 2

15N downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object.

Taking upwards as positive and downwards as negative,

Net Force = 10N + (-25N)

= -15N

Hence Net Force is 15N downwards.
