Step-by-step solution for: Blank Net Force Worksheet | Fill Out and Print PDFs
To solve the problems on the "Net Force Worksheet," we need to calculate the net force acting on each box by summing up all the forces acting on it, taking into account their directions. Forces to the right are considered positive, and forces to the left are considered negative.
Let's solve each problem step by step:
---
- Forces: \( 4 \, \text{N} \) (left)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = -4 \, \text{N}
\]
Direction: Left
Answer: \( \boxed{-4 \, \text{N} \, (\text{left})} \)
---
- Forces: \( 7 \, \text{N} \) (left), \( 2 \, \text{N} \) (right)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = -7 \, \text{N} + 2 \, \text{N} = -5 \, \text{N}
\]
Direction: Left
Answer: \( \boxed{-5 \, \text{N} \, (\text{left})} \)
---
- Forces: \( 4 \, \text{N} \) (right), \( 4 \, \text{N} \) (left)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = 4 \, \text{N} + (-4 \, \text{N}) = 0 \, \text{N}
\]
Direction: None (balanced)
Answer: \( \boxed{0 \, \text{N}} \)
---
- Forces: \( 6 \, \text{N} \) (right), \( 3 \, \text{N} \) (right)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = 6 \, \text{N} + 3 \, \text{N} = 9 \, \text{N}
\]
Direction: Right
Answer: \( \boxed{9 \, \text{N} \, (\text{right})} \)
---
- Forces: \( 8 \, \text{N} \) (left), \( 4 \, \text{N} \) (right)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = -8 \, \text{N} + 4 \, \text{N} = -4 \, \text{N}
\]
Direction: Left
Answer: \( \boxed{-4 \, \text{N} \, (\text{left})} \)
---
- Forces: \( 4 \, \text{N} \) (right), \( 5 \, \text{N} \) (left)
- Net Force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = 4 \, \text{N} + (-5 \, \text{N}) = -1 \, \text{N}
\]
