An egg is free-falling from the nest. The egg weighs 10N and the force of air friction is 1N. What is the net force?
Well, it sounds like that egg is feeling a little 'egg-cited' about its free fall! Now, to calculate the net force, we subtract the force of air friction from the weight of the egg. So in this case, the net force would be 10N - 1N, which equals 9N. So, it's definitely a 'shell of a' force!
To find the net force acting on the egg, we need to subtract the force of air friction from the weight of the egg.
Net force = Weight - Force of air friction
Given that the weight of the egg is 10N and the force of air friction is 1N, we plug in these values to calculate the net force:
Net force = 10N - 1N = 9N
Therefore, the net force acting on the egg is 9N.
