Question
- A. 25 N — misconception focus for resultant force
- B. This confuses resultant force and balanced forces and does not answer Resultant forces.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Forces and their interactions.
Answer
The correct answer is: 25 N — misconception focus for resultant force
Explanation
The correct option is 25 N — misconception focus for resultant force. 25 N — misconception focus for resultant force is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate resultant force for forces acting in the same direction. This answer belongs to Resultant forces within Forces and their interactions, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse resultant force and balanced forces, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Forces in the Same Direction
Students often add the magnitudes of forces acting in the same direction incorrectly, forgetting to consider their vector nature.
To find the resultant force, simply add the magnitudes of the forces together, ensuring they are in the same direction.
