Answer:
<em>Thus, the object is accelerating to the left</em>
Explanation:
<u>The Net Force</u>
The net force is the result of adding all the forces as vectors acting on a body.

Each vector can be expressed in its rectangular components Fx and Fy, and the sum is the sum of the rectangular components separately.
Second Newton's law gives the relation between the net force and the acceleration of the body:

We can see the acceleration is a vector with the same direction as the net force.
The diagram shows two vertical forces and two horizontal forces.
The vertical forces are acting in opposite directions and with the same magnitude, thus they cancel out, leaving zero net force in the y-axis.
The horizontal forces are opposite and with different magnitudes. Since the force acting to the left (F3) has a greater magnitude than the force acting to the right (F4), there is a net force directed to the left with a magnitude of 60 N - 20 N = 40 N
Thus, the object is accelerating to the left
Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s
Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.
The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s
Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.
Final momentum = mass × final velocity
Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5
Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s
Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity
Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s
Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3
Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s
The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.
