To calculate the net force, we need to add the magnitudes of the two forces and consider their directions.
The force directed west has a magnitude of 30N.
The force directed east has a magnitude of 12N.
To find the net force, we subtract the force directed east from the force directed west:
30N - 12N = 18N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 18N directed 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 42 N east 42 N east 42N west 42N west 18N east 18N east 18N west
