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)

12 N south
12 N south
To find the net force on the object, we need to add the magnitudes of the two forces together. The force directed north has a magnitude of 10 N, and the force directed south has a magnitude of 2 N.
Adding them together: 10 N + (-2 N) = 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N north.
