Question

the net force is the ____ of all forces acting on an object.
options:
○ dividend
○ multiple
○ difference
○ sum

Explanation:

In physics, the net force is calculated by vectorially adding all the individual forces acting on an object. So the net force is the sum of all forces (considering their directions, but in terms of the concept of combining forces, it's the sum). The other options: dividend is related to division, multiple is a product - like concept, difference is subtraction, which don't fit the definition of net force.

Answer:

sum (the option corresponding to "sum" among the choices, e.g., if the option for sum is the last one, then the answer would be the option with "sum" text)
