PLEASE HELPPPPP!!Calculate the net force acting on obiect A. In your answer, be sure to include the number, unit, and
1 answer:
Answer:
4 N to the right
Explanation:
For the object in this problem, we have 2 forces acting on it:
- A force of 2 N, to the right
- A force of 2 N, to the right
The two forces are in line: this means that the two vectors can be simply added by calculating their algebraic sum.
If we take right as positive direction, the two forces can be written as
F1 = +2 N
F2 = +2 N
So, the net force will be
And the positive sign means the direction is to the right.

The displacement is 2 m south
Explanation:
Distance and displacement are two different quantities:
- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. It is a scalar quantity
- Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object. The magnitude of the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the two points
For the car in this problem, the motion is:
10 m south
8 m north
Taking north as positive direction, we can describe the two parts of the motion as
m
Therefore, the final position of the car with respect to the original position is
which means 2 m south: so, the displacement of the car is 2 m south.
