The free-body diagrams of four objects are shown. which object has a net force of –5 n down? a. w b. x c. y d. z

B. x

Explanation:

Let's calculate the net force for each object:

W) The horizontal net force is zero, because . The vertical net force is instead upward, so this is not the right option

X) The horizontal net force is zero, because . The vertical net force is instead downward, so this is the correct choice

Y) The horizontal net force is . The vertical net force is instead zero, because , so this is not the right option

Z) he horizontal net force is . The vertical net force is instead zero, because , so this is not the right option
