Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Forces are vectors and can be added using vector addition.
2. The direction to the right is considered positive, and the direction to the left is considered negative.

STEP 2

1. Identify the forces acting on the object.
2. Assign positive and negative signs to the forces based on their directions.
3. Calculate the net force by summing the forces.

STEP 3

Identify the forces acting on the object:
- A force of 3N 3 \, \text{N} to the left. - A force of 5N 5 \, \text{N} to the right.

STEP 4

Assign positive and negative signs to the forces based on their directions:
- The force to the right (5N 5 \, \text{N} ) is positive. - The force to the left (3N 3 \, \text{N} ) is negative.

STEP 5

Calculate the net force by summing the forces:
Net Force=5N3N=2N \text{Net Force} = 5 \, \text{N} - 3 \, \text{N} = 2 \, \text{N}
The net force is 2N 2 \, \text{N} to the right.
The net force in the diagram is:
2Nright \boxed{2 \, \text{N} \, \text{right}}
