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)

42 N east

18N east
18N east
18N west
18N west
42N west
The net force on the object can be found by subtracting the force directed east from the force directed west:
30 N (west) - 12 N (east) = 18 N (west)
Therefore, the net force on the object is 18N west.
