### Physics Problem Set: Net Force Components

#### Question 1
A 1 kg mass is located at (x,y) = (4,3); a 2 kg mass is located at (x,y) = (-8,-6). In units of G, what is the x-component of the net force acting on a 2 kg mass at the origin?

- ☐ 0 N
- ☐ 0.024 G
- ☐ 0.032 G
- ☐ -0.024 G
- ☐ -0.032 G
- ☐ NOTA (None of the Above)

#### Question 2
What is the y-component of the net force acting on the same 2 kg mass at the origin?

- ☐ 0 N
- ☐ 0.024 G
- ☐ 0.032 G
- ☐ -0.024 G
- ☐ -0.032 G
- ☐ NOTA (None of the Above)

#### Question 3
Suppose the second mass at (-8,-6) was 4 kg rather than 2 kg. In that case, what would be the direction of the net force on the mass at the origin?

- ☐ NE (1st quadrant)
- ☐ NW (2nd quadrant)
- ☐ SW (3rd quadrant)
- ☐ SE (4th quadrant)
- ☐ The net force would be along one of the coordinate axes
- ☐ The net force would be zero

### Explanation
The questions above deal with calculating the components of net force resulting from gravitational interaction between masses located at specified coordinates. This involves understanding gravitational vectors and decomposing them into x and y components in a coordinate plane.
