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
42N west
42N west
42 N east
42 N east
18N west
The net force on the object is the vector sum of the two forces. Since one force is directed west (-30N) and the other force is directed east (+12N), the net force on the object is 12N - 30N = -18N west.
Therefore, the correct response is:
18N west
