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)Responses8 N north8 N north12 N south12 N south25 N north25 N north8 N south

Answer 1

To find the net force acting on the object, you need to subtract the magnitudes of the forces acting in opposite directions.

1. The force directed north has a magnitude of 10 N.
2. The force directed south has a magnitude of 2 N.

Net force = Force north - Force south Net force = 10 N (north) - 2 N (south) = 8 N (north)

Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N north.
