NET FORCE
WHO WINS THE PULL?
Forces are pushes and pulls. Often more than one force acts on the same object at once. Add them as a team and you get the net force. If the team cancels to zero, forces are balanced. If one side wins, forces are unbalanced and the object's motion can change.
🪢 NET
Net force is the overall leftover push or pull after all forces are combined.
