PLEASE HELP ASAP A 744N object falling in the air experiences 434N of air resistance. what is the amount if net force of the falling objec

The amount of net force of the falling object is -310 N, or 310 N downwards

Explanation:

Net Force

Being the force a vector, the net force is the sum of all the force vectors acting on an object at a given time:

When the forces are acting in one axis, say the y-axis, the direction of the forces can be considered by the sign of the magnitude of the force.

For example, the weight of the object is usually assigned a negative direction. In our problem:

W=-744 N

The air resistance always opposes the direction of motion. Since the object is falling, the air resistance is positive:

Fa = +434 N

The net force is the sum of both, including their signs:

Fn = -744 N + 434 N = -310 N

The amount of net force of the falling object is -310 N, or 310 N downwards
