Usage Note

Risultante functions primarily as an adjective meaning 'resulting' or 'resultant' (la forza risultante — the resultant force, in physics). As a noun, la risultante (f.) is used in physics for a resultant vector, and more broadly for an outcome or product of combined factors. The seed tags it as a verb, but its standard use is adjectival/nominal; it is the present participle of risultare (to result/turn out), used as a standalone word.

Examples

"La forza risultante è diretta verso l'alto."

Natural Translation

The resultant force is directed upwards.
