| how to calculate resultant force when an object changes direction | measure out both directions and find how far it is from the starting point to the end point. then find the distance through the middle which forms a triangle the distance connecting both start and end is your answer. (remember newtons = cm or told otherwise) (Also if not given direction do it how u want) |
| when calculating resultant force what do you do if the distance is large. | make 1 cm = 100cm (for example if you have to plot a distance of 500cm make 1 cm = 100 and you'll have to do 5 cm. For your answer x by how much you made cm equal to so x the answer by 100) |
| How to calculate resultant force when 2 forces are acing on an object ant the same time. | You will need to draw a Parallelogram start by drawing a straight flat line with the given newtons (remember newtons = cm) use a protractor to draw a line in the direction of the angle given with the number of newtons given. Finish off the parallelogram the opposite sides are equal and draw a line through the centre which is the resultant force. |
