The net force on the object can be found by subtracting the force directed east from the force directed west:
30 N (west) - 12 N (east) = 18 N (west)
Therefore, the net force on the object 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)
