Question

according to this diagram, what is the net force on this object?
0 newtons
200 newtons
400 newtons
600 newtons

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the direction of forces

The force of air (\(F_{air} = 400N\)) acts upward and the gravitational force (\(F_{grav}=600N\)) acts downward.

Step2: Calculate the net force

Since the forces are in opposite directions, the net force \(F_{net}\) is given by \(F_{net}=F_{grav}-F_{air}\).
Substitute the values: \(F_{net}=600N - 400N\).

Answer:

200 newtons
