Questions Related to force - push or pull

When you and your friend pushes heavy table in the same direction, it becomes easier to move. This is because:

physics mechanics concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. the net force is the sum of forces.

  2. the net force is the difference of forces.

  3. the table becomes lighter.

  4. friction reduces.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When you and your friend pushes heavy table in the same direction, the force applied by you and your friend get added. So, applied forces sum up to get a larger force. Hence the table moves easily.

What happens when two forces are applied in the opposite direction on an object?

physics mechanics concept of force and its unit force - push or pull forces

  1. Net force is the addition of forces.

  2. Net force is the subtraction of forces.

  3. Net force is the division of forces.

  4. Net force is the multiplication of forces.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When two forces are applied in the opposition direction on an object, the net force will be the difference between the two forces.
