Resultant Forces (GCSE Physics)

A projectile experiences weight 98 N downward and air resistance 18 N upward at a moment. What is the resultant vertical force?

A weight of 250 N hangs from two ropes making 60° to the vertical on each side (symmetric). What is the tension in each rope? (Vertical components add to 250 N; use cos 60° = 0.5)

A box has three forces in the plane: 10 N right, 6 N up, and 6 N left. What is the resultant force vector?

A book rests on a table with gravitational force 12 N downward. A student pushes down on the book adding another 3 N downward. The table reacts with normal force. What is the normal force?

A 50 N pull at 45° above the horizontal has vertical component = 35.4 N (approx). Which expression gives the horizontal component?

A lift is held stationary by the cable. The lift’s weight is 9800 N downward and the cable pulls 9800 N upward. If the lift motor stops and the cable suddenly provides 9600 N upward, what is the resultant force and acceleration direction?

Two forces act at right angles: 9 N north and 12 N east. Which of these is the magnitude of the resultant?

A cyclist applies a forward force of 200 N. Air resistance and friction total 200 N backward. What is the cyclist’s acceleration?

A stationery object is in equilibrium. Which statement about the forces on it is correct?

Two equal forces of 15 N act symmetrically at 30° either side of the vertical. What is the resultant and its direction?

A tug-of-war team pulls left with 420 N while the other team pulls right with 300 N. What is the resultant force and direction?
