2 Newtons to the North
7-5=2
Simple math =)
2N north
Take north to be the positive direction, and south to be the negative direction. Net force = 13N + (-17N) = -4N Net force = 4N to the south.
If the 10N force is positive, meaning to the north, then the 5N south would be negative, and the net force is 10N + (-5N) = 5N to the north.
Since North and South are opposing directions, the net force will be 10 N north. One way to look at it is to define North as a positive direction. In that case, South would be negative and the net force would be 15 N - 5 N = 10 N (which, since we defined North as positive, means that the force must be directed North since the net force is positive).
7 N North is up and 5 N South is down; 7 -5 = 2 N North
2N north
Take north to be the positive direction, and south to be the negative direction. Net force = 13N + (-17N) = -4N Net force = 4N to the south.
The net force on the object is 5 newtons toward the north.
If the 10N force is positive, meaning to the north, then the 5N south would be negative, and the net force is 10N + (-5N) = 5N to the north.

Just tell me or im going to cry.. :'(
7 N North is up and 5 N South is down; 7 -5 = 2 N North
We are assuming that the forces are opposite of each other, meaning that they will cancel out. Net force is simply 39-22 (or 17 newtons).
5 N to the north.
As they are acting directly against each other, we can simply subtract.The resultant is 15 N to the north.
The two forces combine to form a net force, F= F1 + F2
