Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south. What is the net force on the object?(1 point)

To determine the net force on the object, we need to calculate the sum (vector sum) of the two forces. Since one force is directed north and the other force is directed south, we need to subtract the magnitude of the south force (2 N) from the magnitude of the north force (10 N).
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
To find the net force on the object, we need to consider the magnitudes and directions of the individual forces. In this case, one force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.
To find the net force, we need to subtract the force directed south from the force directed north.
The force directed north is 10 N, and the force directed south is 2 N.
10 N - 2 N = 8 N.
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
