The masses are colinear, so we can simply add them together. Assuming to the right is the positive direction, the 10N force is written +10N, then to the left is negative, so the other force is -2N.
The sum of the forces = +8N, or 8 N to the right. One newton is equal to kg*m/s2.
Acceleration is force / mass, or 8/4 or 2 m/s2 in the positive direction, or to the right.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if one object exerts a force on another?
If one object exerts a force on another, the second object will experience an acceleration in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion. This acceleration could result in the second object moving, changing direction, or deforming depending on the magnitude and direction of the force.
This is a quantity that has both size and direction?
Such a quantity is called a vector. A shining example is velocity itself. velocity is the rate of change of displacement- the distance moved by particle in a specified direction. Since velocity = displacement/time taken = vector/scalar, Velocity thus has both a direction and a magnitude (magnitude = speed of particle) Another examples include quantities such as Force, acceleration, displacement
What type of quantity is acceleration?
Acceleration is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction components. It describes a change in velocity, another vector quantity.The presence of two components distinguishes it from a scalar quantity, like speed, that only has one component (velocity and speed are different).
What two things does a vector quantity have?
In order to have a vector quantity, one needs to have some sort of magnitude and a direction. An example of this is velocity. Velocity is a speed in a certain direction, so velocity is a vector, but speed is not. These words are commonly misused in society, and used interchageably with one another.
How do you computed values of acceleration compare?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It can be computed by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur. Comparing values of acceleration involves evaluating whether one object is changing its velocity at a faster or slower rate than another object, based on the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.
How can an object travelling in one direction be accelerated in another direction?
An object traveling in one direction can be accelerated in another direction by applying a force in the desired direction. This force will cause the object's velocity to change, leading to acceleration in the new direction. The acceleration will depend on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
What happens if one object exerts a force on another?
If one object exerts a force on another, the second object will experience an acceleration in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion. This acceleration could result in the second object moving, changing direction, or deforming depending on the magnitude and direction of the force.

What Physical values in the real world have two components magnitude?
Force is a physical quantity in the real world that has two components: magnitude and direction. Another example is velocity, which consists of speed (magnitude) and direction. These quantities are vector quantities and require both magnitude and direction to be fully defined.
What is the magnitude of a force of 117.4 moving upward and another force of 74.1 moving downward?
the magnitude is 43.3 and the direction is upward.
Balanced forces do not change an object's direction.?
true
What is another name for acceleration when velocity increase?
When the magnitude of velocity increases, many people call that "speeding up".
What do you call a FORCE twice as large as another force acting at right angles with it?
Acceleration with magnitude of (f1^2 + f2^2)^(1/2) @ 45degrees from either direction towards the other
Do vectors have direction?
Yes, vectors must have the direction. Without direction, it is simply a scalar quantity.
