The diagram shows four forces acting on an object. The length of the lines shows the magnitude of the forces. The object will accelerate because the forces are unbalanced. In which direction will the object accelerate?

A.
upward and to the right

B.
upward and to the left

C.
downward and to the right

D.
downward and to the left

weird question.. actually as i noticed the adjacent sides have equal magnitude)? is that right?

anonymous · Answer

ya I think so. biology isn't really my strong suit

anonymous · Answer

that's more of a physics question to me..

anonymous · Answer

clockwise.. am thinkin'

anonymous · Answer

because.. the forces acting along the clockwise direction adre of a greater magnitude..

Thanks
