Question

The arrows represent the forces acting on the object. Use the highlighter and draw an arrow to represent the direction that the object would be accelerating. Put an "X" if it is not accelerating.

Answer 1

see attached

Explanation:

You want the given diagram annotated with an arrow to show the direction of acceleration.

Acceleration

Acceleration is a result of a net force on an object. It is in the direction of that net force.

Application

Here, the forces to the left and right are equal and opposite, so have a sum of zero.

The forces up and down are opposite, but unequal. The downward force is larger, so the direction of the net force is downward. (+5 +(-10) = -5)

The object will be accelerated downward in the direction of the 10 N force.
