To calculate the net force, we need to subtract the forces that are directed in opposite directions.
The force of 30N directed west and the force of 12N directed east are in opposite directions.
So, the net force is 30N - 12N = 18N west.
Therefore, the correct answer 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) Responses 18N east 18N east 18N west 18N west 42N west 42N west 42 N east
