The net force can be calculated by finding the vector sum of the two forces. Since the forces are in opposite directions, we can subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The net force will have the same direction as the larger force.
Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N directed north
one force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north and the other forces has a magnitude of 2 N directed south. What is the net force of the object
