Two forces of magnitude 20N and 30N respectively are acting on an object along the same direction. Calculate the net force acting on the object and determine the direction of motion.

The net force acting on the object with two forces of 20N and 30N acting in the same direction is 50N. Since the forces are applied in the same direction, the object will also move in this same direction.

The subject of this question is net force and direction of motion. When two forces are applied on an object in the same direction, they add up to create a net force. In this case, the two forces of 20N and 30N add up to give a net force of 50N. Because these forces are acting in the same direction, the direction of motion will also be the same as the direction of the forces.
