Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south. What is the net force on the object?(1 point) Responses 12 N south 12 N south 8 N north 8 N north 8 N south 8 N south 25 N north

1 answer

To find the net force on the object, we need to add the two forces together.

The force of 10 N directed north is positive.
The force of 2 N directed south is negative.

Thus, the net force is:

10 N + (-2 N) = 8 N north

So the correct answer is 8 N north.
