The net force acting on the object can be calculated by subtracting the force to the left from the force to the right:

190 N - 70 N = 120 N to the right

Since the net force is to the right, the object will move to the right. The magnitude of the net force is 120 N.

To calculate the acceleration of the object, we can use Newton's second law:

F = m * a

Where:
F = net force (120 N)
m = mass (20 kg)
a = acceleration

Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration:

a = F / m
a = 120 N / 20 kg
a = 6 m/s^2

Therefore, the object will move to the right with a magnitude of 120 N and will accelerate at 6 m/s^2.
