A 2kg ball at rest experiences two forces
The force on the left is 13.2 N and the force on the right is 15.4 N Calculate the net force in newtons on the ball as it moves to the left.
Subtract 15.4 and 13.2?

To calculate the net force on the ball as it moves to the left, you need to subtract the force on the right (15.4 N) from the force on the left (13.2 N).
Net force = Force on the left - Force on the right
= 13.2 N - 15.4 N
However, it seems that the force on the right is greater than the force on the left. Therefore, the net force on the ball would be in the direction of the force on the right, which is to the right.
To calculate the net force, you need to combine the two forces acting on the ball. Since the force on the right is greater than the force on the left, the ball will move to the left.
To find the net force, you subtract the force on the right from the force on the left.
Net force = Force on the left - Force on the right
Net force = 13.2 N - 15.4 N
Subtracting 15.4 N from 13.2 N gives you a net force of -2.2 N.
The negative sign indicates that the net force is acting in the opposite direction of the force on the left (to the right in this case).
