Question

net force worksheet
forces in horizontal and vertical planes can be compared to calculate net force.
true
false

Explanation:

To calculate the net force, forces in horizontal and vertical planes are not compared. Instead, they are combined using vector addition. Forces in different planes (horizontal and vertical) are perpendicular to each other and are combined using the Pythagorean theorem for magnitude ($F_{net}=\sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}$) and trigonometry for direction ($\theta = \tan^{- 1}(\frac{F_{y}}{F_{x}})$ where $F_{x}$ is the net horizontal force and $F_{y}$ is the net vertical force).

Answer:

B. False
