Afalling object that weighs 12 n encounters 3 n of upwards air resistance. what is the size of the net force on the object?

Assume the downward direction is positive and upward direction is negative

W = weight of the object = 12 N

f = air resistance on the object = - 3 N

F = net force on the object

net force is the sum of forces acting on the object , hence the net forces is given as

net force = sum of forces

F = W + f

F = 12 + (- 3)

F = 12 - 3

F = 9 N

hence the size of net force on the object comes out to be 9 N

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
