8N
10N
2N
0N
If a force of 10N acts to the right and a force of 7N acts to the left, what is the net force?

How do you calculate the direction of the resultant force when forces act in opposite directions?
Add the smaller force to the larger force and use the direction of the smaller force as the direction of the resultant force.
Divide the larger force by the smaller force and use the direction of the larger force as the direction of the resultant force.
Ignore the direction of the forces and only consider the magnitude of the forces to determine the direction of the resultant force.
Subtract the smaller force from the larger force and use the direction of the larger force as the direction of the resultant force.
If a force of 8N acts to the right and a force of 4N acts to the left, what is the direction of the resultant force?
Down
Up
Right
Left
When two forces act in the same direction, how do you find the resultant force?
Add the magnitudes of the two forces together

Multiply the magnitudes of the two forces together
If a force of 12N acts to the right and a force of 9N acts to the left, what is the net force?
3N
21N
6N
15N
What is the net force when a force of 15N acts to the right and a force of 10N acts to the left?
5N
25N
20N
2N
How do you determine the direction of the resultant force when forces act in the same direction?
The resultant force is in a circular direction.
The resultant force is in a random direction.
The resultant force is in the opposite direction of the individual forces.
The resultant force is in the same direction as the individual forces.
If a force of 6N acts to the right and a force of 2N acts to the left, what is the direction of the resultant force?
