It takes 9 seconds for a 10 newton force to move an object 4 meters to the right. What are the direction and magnitude of this force?
A.
The direction is to the right. The magnitude is 9 seconds.
B.
The direction is 4 meters. The magnitude is 10 newtons.
C.
The direction is 10 newtons. The magnitude is to the right.
D.
The direction is to the right. The magnitude is 10 newtons.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The direction is to the right. The magnitude is 10 newtons.

D is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time t = 9 sec

Force F = 10 N

distance = 4 meter

According to given scenario

The object moves to the right direction due to the force.

So, The direction of force will be to the right.

Force is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

The object is moving by 10 N force.

Therefore, The magnitude of the force would be 10 N.
