How to Calculate Net Force
How To Calculate
Net Force
What is a force?
• Force is a push or pull in a particular direction.
Forces can affect motion in several
ways:
• They can:
1. make objects start
moving
2. Move objects faster
or slower
3. Stop objects
4. change direction
FORCE FACTS:
1. Measured in Newton's (N)
2. Forces usually act in pairs
3. Forces act in a particular
direction
4. Usually cannot be seen
How to Calculate Net Forces
• When two forces act
in the same direction
on an object, the net
force is equal to the
sum of the two
forces

How to Calculate Net Forces
Continued
• When two unequal
forces act in opposite
directions on an
object, the net force
is the difference of
the two forces

How much force is required to accelerate a 50
kg mass at 4 m/s2?
F=
?
F=
M= 50 kg
A= 4 m/s
F=
200 N
50 kg * 4 m/s
What is the acceleration of a 7 kg mass being pulled
by a 56 N force?
F=
