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.

The net force on the object is determined by adding the magnitudes of the individual forces.
The first force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the second force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.
To find the net force, we subtract the magnitude of the second force from the magnitude of the first force:
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
So the correct answer is "8 N north".
To find the net force on the object, we need to add the vectors of the two forces together. Since one force is directed north and the other is directed south, we can subtract their magnitudes.
Magnitude of the north force = 10 N
Magnitude of the south force = 2 N
Net force = Magnitude of the north force - Magnitude of the south force
= 10 N - 2 N
= 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
To find the net force on an object, you need to consider the direction and magnitude of each force acting on it.
In this case, you have two forces. One force has a magnitude of 10 N, directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N, directed south.
To find the net force, you need to combine the two forces. Since the forces are acting in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force.
Therefore, the net force is 10 N - 2 N = 8 N.
Since the smaller force is directed south, the net force is also directed south.
So, the correct answer is 8 N south.
