Glad it worked out finally. The key here was to think carefully about which sign (+ or -) goes with each force -- including Fnety, which we know is + because the object accelerates in the +y direction.Kinermatics said:
It pays to be careful -- those forces in parentheses should read (Fnetx is 0) and (Fnety = +25N)
Forces are push or pull interactions between two objects. They can cause changes in an object's motion or shape. For example, gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.
Forces are measured in units called Newtons (N). A force of 1 N is equivalent to the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.
Yes, forces can cancel each other out when they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This is known as equilibrium, where the net force on an object is 0 and it remains at rest or in a constant state of motion.
Yes, forces can act in multiple directions on an object. In fact, most objects experience multiple forces at the same time, such as the force of gravity and the force of friction. These forces can combine to create a net force on an object.
In physics, forces are often used to analyze and predict the motion of objects. By understanding the different types of forces and their effects, we can apply mathematical equations and principles to solve problems involving forces.
