the Newtons first law body remain at rest when a net force of zero on it.

When net force is zero, the forces are in balanced or in equilibrium.

The force of gravity is acting on it and there is another force (equal in magnitude and opposite in direction) acting to balance the weight, so the net force is zero.

why net force is zero when a car moving with constant speed and a wall pushed

a football player kicks a ball horizontally with a force of 140N towards the east. The ball was located on thick mud so that a frictional force of 30N towards the opposite direction. Then teacher asks what the net force on it?

Diagram above shows that four forces of magnitude 2N, 4N, 5N and 8N are acting on point O. All the forces are perpendicular to each others. What is the magnitude of the resulatant force that acts on point O?

example when there are two forces are perpendicular (or any other angle) to each other, the net force can be found by performing a vector addition. 80N to East, 60N to South.

 80N

60N

80N to East, 60N to South. Angle between South and East = 37 Net Force (Southeast) = 100N

Fnet = Fx + Fy

1 . Fnet = Fx + Fy 2. Fx = 5N-2N = 3N 3. Fy = 4N-8N = -4N(-4N downwards) . Fnet = 5N ( to South east)

Diagram above shows a lorry pulling a log with an iron cable. If the tension of the cable is 3000N and the friction between the log and the ground is 500N, find the horizontal force that acting on the log.

HCos = A Fx = 3000Cos30 500

Horizontal component of the tension = 3000 cos30o =2598N Friction = 500N Resultant horizontal force = 2598N - 500N =2098N Fx = 2098N (to right) Fnet = 2098 0 = 2098N (to right)

First of all, let's examine all the forces or component of forces acting along the plane. The force pulling the block, F = 20N The frictional force Ffric = 2N The weight component along the plane = 20sin30o = 10N The resultant force along the plane = 20 - 2 - 10 = 8N

Diagram above shows two forces of magnitude 25N are acting on an object of mass 2kg. Find the acceleration of object P, in ms-2.

Horizontal component of the forces = 25cos45o + 25cos45o = 35.36N Vertical component of the forces = 25sin45o - 25sin45o = 0N The acceleration of the object can be determined by the equation F = ma (35.36) = (2)a a = 17.68 ms-2

Diagram above shows a load of mass 500g is hung on a string C, which is tied to 2 other strings A and B. Find the tension of string A.

Tension of string C, TC = weight of the load = 5N All forces in the system are in equilibrium, hence Vertical component of tension A (TA) = TC TAcos60o = TC TA = TC/cos60o TA = 5/cos60o = 10N
