What happens when two forces act in opposite direction?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand what happens when two forces act in opposite directions, we can break down the situation step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Force - **Force** is a vector quantity, which means it has both **magnitude** (how strong the force is) and **direction** (where the force is applied). ### Step 2: Identify the Forces - Let's denote the two forces acting on an object as **F1** and **F2**. - Assume **F1** is acting to the right and **F2** is acting to the left. ...
