Question 19 • Physics in the Universe

The resulting net force of an object is represented as: right arrow 10 cap n Which most likely represent the forces acting on the object?

Answer
A
uparrow 97 cap n and downarrow 87 cap n
B
uparrow 63 cap n and downarrow 73 cap n
C
left arrow 97 cap n and right arrow 87 cap n
D
left arrow 63 cap n and right arrow 73 cap n

Explanation

For forces acting in opposite directions, subtract the smaller force from the larger; the net force points in the direction of the larger force. In choice D, 73 N to the right minus 63 N to the left gives a net force of 10 N to the right. Choice C also differs by 10 N, but its net force points left.
