Question
what determines how an object will move? object will move in the direction of the lesser force. object will move in the direction of the greatest force
According to Newton's laws of motion, an object will accelerate in the direction of the net - force acting on it. When multiple forces act on an object, the resultant force (the vector sum of all forces) determines the motion. The object moves in the direction of the net force, which is equivalent to the direction of the greatest force when considering unbalanced forces.
