The net force on the object is the vector sum of the two forces. Since one force is directed west with a magnitude of 30N and the other force is directed east with a magnitude of 12N, the net force will be the difference between these two forces.
Net force = 30N - 12N = 18N west
So, the correct response is 18N west.
Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 30N directed west, and the other force has a magnitude of 12 N directed east. What is the net force on the object?(1 point) Responses 42N west 42N west 18N west 18N west 42 N east 42 N east 18N east 18N east
