Key Points
- The net force acting on an object is the combination of all of the individual forces acting on it.
- If two forces act on an object in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the two forces. In this case, the net force is always greater than or equal to zero but less than either of the individual forces.
- If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the two forces. In this case, the net force is always greater than either of the individual forces.
- Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion.
