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)

In order to find the net force, we need to consider the direction and magnitude of both forces.
One force has a magnitude of 30N directed west, and the other force has a magnitude of 12N directed east.
To find the net force, we subtract the force directed east from the force directed west:
30N (west) - 12N (east) = 18N (west)
Therefore, the net force on the object is 18N directed west.
