A net force is a remaining force that produces an acceleration of an object when all opposing forces that have been canceled out. Opposing forces decrease the effect of acceleration, which lowers the net force of acceleration acting on an object. To find the net force of an object, you combine the amounts of the forces acting on the single object. The net force is the total of all the positive and negative forces.

The magnitude of the net force is F= (30 N) – (15 N) =15 N. The net force points in the direction. If the two forces are acting on an object in the opposite direction, and they do not exactly cancel each other out, then the net force is calculated by the difference in the forces. In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. The net force is the total of all forces on the object.
