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 west
18N west
18N east
18N east
42N west
42N west
42 N east
42 N east
The net force is calculated by subtracting the force directed east from the force directed west:
Net force = 30 N west - 12 N east = 18 N west
Therefore, the correct response is: 18N west.
