Question

1. the arrows represent two forces on an object. which statements about the forces are true? choose all that apply. a. the forces are exerted in the same direction. b. the forces have the same magnitude. c. there is no net force on the object. d. the forces are exerted in opposite directions. e. force b is greater in magnitude than force a.

Explanation:

• Option A: The arrows point in opposite directions (one to the right, one to the left), so the forces are not exerted in the same direction.
• Option B: The length of the arrows (which represent force magnitude) is different. Force B's arrow is longer, so they do not have the same magnitude.
• Option C: Since the magnitudes are different (Force B > Force A), there is a net force (\(F_{net}=F_B - F_A\), and \(F_B>F_A\), so \(F_{net}

eq0\)).

• Option D: The arrows clearly show that the forces are exerted in opposite directions (left - right).
• Option E: The length of the arrow for Force B is greater than that for Force A, so Force B is greater in magnitude than force A.

Answer:

D. The forces are exerted in opposite directions.；E. Force B is greater in magnitude than force A.
