Net force, often represented as \\( F_\{\\text\{net\}\} \\), is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on an object. It determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion, which states that \\( F = ma \\), where: - \\( F \\) is the net force, - \\( m \\) is the mass of the object, - \\( a \\) is the acceleration of the object.
