Question
what is net force?
a. the sum of all the forces acting on an object
b. the smallest force acting on an object
c. the largest force acting on an object
d. the difference between the largest and smallest forces acting on an object
The net force is defined as the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. Options B, C, and D do not accurately represent this definition. Option B refers to the smallest force, which is not relevant. Option C refers to the largest force, which also does not capture the concept. Option D refers to the difference between the largest and smallest forces, which is incorrect. Only option A correctly states that it is the sum of all forces.
