A student wanted to get an object to move with a net force of (up)15 Newtons. The combinations of forces that can be exerted to create that net force are:

• (up) 13 Newtons + (right) 2 Newtons

• (down) 35 Newtons + (up) 20 Newtons

• (up) 7 Newtons + (up) 8 Newtons

• (up) 15 Newtons + (down) 15 Newtons
