A ____ force is the total force felt by an object.
A
sum
B
net
C
strong
D
balanced
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: A net force is the total force felt by an object.

Detailed explanation-2: -The total force acting on a object is called as net force. When two or more forces acting on a object in the same direction then these forces gets added up and the sum of these forces is called net force or total force.

Detailed explanation-3: -We can figure out the total force by subtracting one force from the other. For example, if a block is being pushed with a force of 7 newtons left and 4 newtons right, the total force on the block is 3 newtons left. 7-4 = 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -It can change the shape of a non-rigid body. For example, when we compress a spring, its shape changes. It can change the direction of a moving object. For example, a batsman hits a ball to change its direction of motion.

Detailed explanation-5: -A force acting on an object causes the object to change its shape or size, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate. When there’s the interaction between two objects they exert a force on each other, these exerted forces are equal in size but opposite in direction.
