Question

an object has two forces acting on it. one force with a magnitude of 10 n acts in a northerly direction. the other force with a magnitude of 10 n acts in an easterly direction. what is the magnitude of the net force acting on this object?

Answer 1

0 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a force diagram to show in which directions the forces are acting.

Fnet= Fnorth + F east

0= Fnorth+ F east

F north=F east

10N = 10N

the forces cancel out.
