What is the net force of 3.0N and 10 N acting on an object if the two forces are in the opposite directions?

Question

Learning a lot about math and how to use different formulas to solve different problems, I am learning and looking at soving these problems, ccan you help ? I need to solve these questions

Answer 1

Since the forces are moving in opposite directions, you can find the net force by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force:

10.0 N - 3.0 N = 7.0 N

Meaning that the net force acting on the object is 7.0 N, moving in the same direction of the larger force (the 10.0 N force)

Answer 2

The net force acting on the object is 7 N (10 - 3) in the direction of the 10 N force.
