An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons from the right and a force of 13 newtons from the left. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force?

Respuesta :

The net force is calculated by summing up all the forces acting on the object. We let the right direction as positive which results to a negative value for the left direction. The net force would be 22 + (-13) = 9 newtons. The direction would be to the right. Hope this helps.
