Calculating Net Force: Key Concepts and Applications

The video tutorial explains how to calculate net force by considering forces acting in opposite and same directions. It covers the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces, providing examples for each scenario. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of direction and magnitude in determining net force and includes practical examples to illustrate these concepts.

What should you do if forces are acting in opposite directions?

• Divide them

• Add them together

• Multiply them

• Subtract them
