Two forces are acting on an object. One force is pulling 5 newtons to the left,
and the other is pulling 7 newtons to the right. What is the size and direction of
the net force?


Sagot :

The net force is the vector sum of the two forces, since they’re acting in opposite directions one is negative (left) so
-5 + 7 = 2 to the right
Magnitude is 2
Direction is right
