An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force?
O A. 9 newtons to the right
OB. 9 newtons to the left
O c. 22 newtons to the right
O D.35 newtons to the right
O E 35 newtons to the left

selected the wrong subject

The net force is A) 9 newtons to the right

Explanation:

In order to find the net force, we have to use vector addition.

First of all, we have to define a positive direction for the vectors. We take the following convention:

To the right = positive direction

To the left = negative  direction

Therefore, the two forces acting on the object are:

A force of 22 N to the right --> therefore we can write it as  (positive)

A force of 13 N to the left --> therefore we can write it as  (negative)

Since the two forces act on the same line, we can calculate theire resultant simply by adding them together with the proper sign. Therefore, the net force is

And the sign of the net force (positive) tells us that the direction is to the right.
