If an object has applied force of 20 N and a frictional force of 5 N what is the net force?

Net force = 15 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force on an object = 20 N

Frictional force = 5 N

We need to find the net force acting on the object.

Friction is an opposing force. It acts in the opposite direction.

Net force = Applied force - Frictional force

= 20 N - 5 N

= 15 N

Hence, the net force acting on the object is 15 N.

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
