Question
### Understanding Forces Acting on an Object

**Context:**
An object of mass \( m \) is subjected to three different forces \( F_1 \), \( F_2 \), and \( F_3 \). There is no normal force acting on the object (i.e., "no surface" is present). As depicted in the figure, the directions of the forces are as follows:
- \( F_1 \) acts downwards.
- \( F_2 \) acts to the right.
- \( F_3 \) acts to the left.

When solving for the resultant force, assume that the x-direction is to the right and the y-direction is straight upwards.

**Figure Description:**
The figure shows a blue square representing the object. Three vectors represent the forces:
- \( F_1 \) is pointing downward.
- \( F_2 \) is pointing to the right.
- \( F_3 \) is pointing to the left.

#### Problem 1: Net Force in Component Form

**Task:**
Write a symbolic expression for the net force in component form. Give your answer in terms of \( F_1 \), \( F_2 \), \( F_3 \), and the unit vectors \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \).

**Solution:**
\[ \mathbf{F} = F_2 \mathbf{i} - F_3 \mathbf{i} - F_1 \mathbf{j} \]
(The answer is marked as correct.)

#### Problem 2: Calculating the Magnitude of the Net Force

**Given:**
- \( F_1 = 3 \, \text{N} \)
- \( F_2 = 10 \, \text{N} \)
- \( F_3 = 1 \, \text{N} \)

**Task:**
Calculate the magnitude of the net force, in Newtons.

To find the magnitude \( | \mathbf{F} | \), use the provided calculator interface (assuming proper use of trigonometric functions or direct calculation).

#### Problem 3: Angle and Magnitude of the Acceleration

1. **Angle \(\theta\):**
   What is the angle \(\theta\), in degrees, of the net force measured from the +x-axis? Enter an angle between -180° and 180°.

2. **Magnitude of Acceleration \( |a
