Best Answer

If you let northward be a positive force and southward be a negative force, you could add the two forces in this manner:

+10N + -15N = -5N

This gives you not only the magnitude of the net force, but also the direction: 5N southward.

What is the magnitude and net force of an object being pulled 25 N northward and 15 N southward?

The object behaves exactly as it would in response to a single force of 10N northward, since that's the vector sum of all of the [horizontal] forces on it (that we know about).


What is the direction of the acceleration of an object that is slowing down while heading northward?

The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.


Can an object have a northward velocity and southward acceleration?

Yes, think about this; when you through a ball up in the air the velocity will be positive since its going up but the acceleration will be -9.8 since it is going against gravity.


What is an obejct pronoun?

An object pronoun is a pronoun that functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.The object pronouns are: me, us, you, him, her, it, them, whom.Examples:We met them at the party. (direct object of the verb 'met')Jack brought her flowers. (indirect object of the verb 'brought')I made a sandwich for you. (object of the preposition 'for')


Is mass the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object?

No mass is not the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object. Mass is the stuff of which the object is composed. The magnitude of the gravitational forces between the object and Earth ... or whatever planet the object happens to be on ... is the object's "weight".


What does magnitude refer to when doing mathematics?

Magnitude refers to the size of a mathematical object. The greater an object's volume, area, or length, the greater its magnitude. The magnitude of a number is referred to as its "absolute value."


What scientific object shows only magnitude?

Scalars are a magnitude by itself. Vectors are magnitude and direction.


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.


How much does the brightest of a star change with each change in magnitude of one?

The magnitude scale is calibrated such that a difference of 5 magnitudes is equal to a 100x difference in brightness. Note also that the lower the value for magnitude, the brighter the object is. If object A has a magnitude of 0 and object B has a magnitude of -5, then object B is 100 times as bright as object A. The fifth root of 100 is 2.512 (to 4 significant figures), therefore a difference in magnitude of 1 is equal to a 2.512x difference in brightness.


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!


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.
