Can a force acting perpendicularly on a body cancel which is acting horizontally on the same?

That is difficult to answer in that a horizontal force may be perpendicular to the body. So, the question does not differentiate between "can a vertical force cancel a horizontal force?" and "can a horizontal force cancel a horizontal force?" The best answer is, yes: two opposite and equal horizontal forces, both perpendicular to a body, will cancel each other.

Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?
no. a force acting perpendicularly on a body cannot cancel a force which is acting horizontally on the same body.!!!!
Can a force directed vertically on an object ever cancel a force directed horizontally?
No, never. They act perpendicularly, so they could never cancel. Only forces which act parallel and in the opposite direction can cancel.
Why surface tension is scallar?
bcoz it follows dot product of vector addition as force act perpendicularly to the surface
What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?
0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.
Are acting on the pen?
The Forces acting on the pen are first the downward force called gravitational force and the upward force is the tension force.

As long as an object at rest is there a force acting against it?
There can be forces acting on an object while it is at rest, as long as the forces cancel each out. For example: a block laying on a table feels the force of gravity pulling it down, but the table pushes up with the same force. Therefore, the forces cancel and the object remains at rest.
when all of the forces on an object cancel one another out the forces are?
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
When finding net force why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an objects?
Forces have directions and can cancel themselves in the netting.
An object at rest has two forces acting on it. The first force is 315 N acting along the x-axis. What is the MAGNITUDE of the second force?
Magnitude is 315 N. Direction would be opposite the first force, so they cancel out and leave the body at rest.
When you stand on level ground the normal force is equal to your what?
The key here is that you're standing on levelground. You should recall the basic principle that net forces change motion. Since your motion is not changing relative to the earth (You're standing still), there must be no net force acting on you. In other words, all forces acting on you must cancel out. If you weigh 100 kilograms, then the downward force of gravity is equal to 980 Newtons in the downward direction. If the only other force acting on you is the normal force, then to cancel out the gravitational force, the normal force must be equal and opposite, or 980 Newtons in the upward direction.
Is it possible for the net force on an object to be zero even if several forces are acting on it at the same time?
Yes, as long as all of the forces cancel out.
What is the difference between thrust and weight?
force applies perpendicularly is called thrust force which earths exerts on objests is weight
What are the forces acting on an object without acceleration?
The net force that is acting on an object that is not changing speed is centripetal force that is pulling the object into a circular path. However, just to be clear on this point, while the object's "speed" is not changing, it's "velocity" certainly is, because velocity, unlike speed, has a directional component to it.
What is nonzero net force?
It means that the vector sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero - if there is more than one force, the vectors don't cancel each other completely. In this case, there will be an acceleration.
What is the force acting on flywheel?
The force acting on flywheel is called centrifugal force.
