Question
to find the net force of an object you need to square root together all the forces acting on an object.
To find the net force of an object, when forces are acting at an angle (like perpendicular forces), we use the Pythagorean theorem. If we have two perpendicular forces \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \), the net force \( F_{net} \) is \( \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2} \). So we need to square the magnitudes of the forces, sum them, and then take the square root. The term that fits here (from the dropdown) is "square root" as part of the process (after squaring and summing the forces).
