A.

D.
Only two forces are acting on an object: force A to the left and force B to the right. If force B is
greater than force A, in which direction will the object move?
To the right
To the left
Upward
The object does not move

Answer 1

When two forces of unequal magnitudes are acting on an object in opposite directions, the object will move in the direction of the greater force.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two forces are acting on an object in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the magnitudes of the two forces and is directed in the direction of the larger force. In this case, since force B is greater than force A, the net force will be directed to the right. Therefore, the object will move to the right.
