In this diagram, four forces are acting on the object. The magnitude of the forces is illustrated by the line length. Because the forces are unbalanced the object will accelerate. What is the direction of acceleration? A. downward and to the left B. upward and to the left C. downward and to the right D. upward and to the right http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1357500_1358000/1357599/1/1a2fd5359e9fc80b1c5738a9c88b4682e30414ba/MS_PHYS_SCI_286688.jpg

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What do you think it should be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

I believe its D too :)

Thanks

I'd assume that the length of the line shows the strength of the forces in play. So the line on the left is longer than the line on the right, so the box would go farther to the right. The line going up is longer than the line going down, so that means it would go up. Combine right and up, and you'd get the box going up to the right.So D.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes, that's right. The net acceleration will be in the direction as shown by the diagram. The yellow line represents the net acceleration.

as i said before i am really sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

That's ok :3
