one force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north and the other forces has a magnitude of 2 N directed south. What is the net force of the object
The net force can be calculated by finding the vector sum of the two forces. Since the forces are in opposite directions, we can subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The net force will have the same direction as the larger force.
Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N directed north
To find the net force acting on the object, we need to subtract the force directed south from the force directed north.
The force directed north has a magnitude of 10 N, and the force directed south has a magnitude of 2 N.
Since the two forces act in opposite directions, we subtract the force directed south from the force directed north:
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 8 N, directed north.
To find the net force acting on an object, we need to add up all the individual forces acting on it.
In this case, we have one force of 10 N directed north and another force of 2 N directed south.
Since the forces are in opposite directions, we can subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force to find the net force.
10 N - 2 N = 8 N.
Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 8 Newtons, directed north.
