Form 5 physics chapter 1 force and motion ii what is reluctant force?

 It seems like you may have meant resultant force, as "reluctant force" isn't a standard physics term. Let me clarify resultant force for you:

• Resultant Force: It is the single force that has the same effect as the combined forces acting on an object. When multiple forces are acting on an object, they can be added vectorially to find the resultant force.

In simpler terms:

• If the forces are acting in the same direction, you add them.

• If they are acting in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger one.

• When forces are at an angle, you use vector addition (e.g., Pythagoras’ theorem or trigonometry) to calculate the resultant.

Example:

• If two forces, $F_1=5NF\_1\; =\; 5\; \backslash ,\; N$ (to the right) and $F_2=3NF\_2\; =\; 3\; \backslash ,\; N$ (to the left), are acting on an object, the resultant force is:

$$F_{\text{resultant}}=F_1-F_2=5N-3N=2N\text{ (to the right)}\mathrm{.}$$
