* Understanding Net Force: Net force is the overall force acting on an object. It's the sum of all forces acting on the object.

* Opposite Directions: When forces act in opposite directions, we treat one as positive and the other as negative.

* Calculation:

* Let's say the 10 N force is positive.

* The net force is 10 N - 15 N = -5 N.

Answer: The net force is 5 N in the direction of the 15 N force. Since the net force is negative, it means the object will move in the direction of the larger force (15 N).
