How can you Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of an object which is acted on by a force of 4.0N and a force of 10N that are in the same direction?

Add the resultant vectors 4 + 10 (and as they are in the same direction there will be no sine or cosine factors to worry about).

What are the factor affecting the amount of work done?
The magnitude and direction of the force applied to an object, the magnitude and direction of the distance moved by the object.
What is the difference between the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity of an object?
The velocity of an object has two attributes, 1. its magnitude and 2. its direction. The difference betwen the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity is the direction!
When forces on an object are unbalanced the object wil?
It will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force.
How do unbalanced forces affect an objects velocity?
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.
What will happen when a dynamic object hits a static object?
The resultant momentum of the two objects will roughly equal that of the dynamic object in magnitude and direction, minus some energy lost due to friction during the collision. Think of what happens when a cue ball hits a stationary ball in pool.
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
What is An arrow drawn to represent the direction and magnitude of an object is referred to as?
There is no such thing as the direction or magnitude of an object. The direction and magnitude of its speed, acceleration, or momemtum, or of the forces on it, are represented by vectors.
What is vector and resultant velocity?
A vector is used to represent direction and magnitude of speed. Velocity is the speed of an object and a specification of its direction of motion. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both how fast and in what direction the object is moving. Therefore a vector can be used to represent a velocity. The term "resultant velocity" implies a change in velocity which can be determined using vector analysis.
A resultant vector is?
a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)
What are the factors affecting the amount of work done?
The magnitude and direction of the force applied to an object, the magnitude and direction of the distance moved by the object.
What are the factor affecting the amount of work done?

When two or more forces are acting on an object in the same direction how do you calculate the net force?
You find the vector sum of all the forces. That is the resultant, or net, force.
What is the difference between the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity of an object?
The velocity of an object has two attributes, 1. its magnitude and 2. its direction. The difference betwen the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity is the direction!
When forces on an object are unbalanced the object wil?
It will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force.
How do you calculate magnitude and direction of a object or truck?
-- First of all, you calculate the magnitude and direction of vectors. An object or a truck are not vectors. Things like their weight, velocity, and acceleration are. -- There are different methods and formulas for calculating each different vector. For example: . . . The truck's weight is (the truck's mass) x (the acceleration of gravity) downward . . . The truck's acceleration is (the rate at which its speed changes) in the direction in which its speed changes.
When you know the speed and direction of an of object's motion you know the?
The magnitude and direction of the object's velocity vector.
What scientific object shows only magnitude?
Scalars are a magnitude by itself. Vectors are magnitude and direction.
