Select the correct answer. An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left.
What is the magnitude and direction of the net force? A. 9 newtons to the right B. 9 newtons to the left C. 22 newtons to the right D. 35 newtons to the right E. 35 newtons to the left
Answer:The net force is the sum of all the forces acted upon an object. The direction of force depends on which side you are taking as a positive and negative force. If the force of 22 newtons is positive and the force of 13 newtons is negative, they are actng on the object on different directions, thus in order to get the net force, we just sum them up.
