One force has a magnitude of 12 N and points due south, while the other force has a magnitude of 17 N and points due west. What is the acceleration of the object? 0.77 m/s2 directed 35 south of west 1.1 m/s2 directed 35° south of west 0.77 m/s2 directed 55 south of west 0.44 m/s2 directed 24° south of west 0.63 m/s2 directed 55e south of west ste Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work LINK TO TEXT By accessing this Question Assistance, you will learn while you earn points based on the Point Potential Policy set by

Explanation / Answer

Net force = sqrt(12^2 + 17^2) = 20.08 N

acceleration = F/m = 20.08/27 = 0.77 m/s2

angle = tan^-1 ( 12 / 17) = 35.2o south of west

so option 1) is the correct answer
