How many force vectors can one object have?

There is no limit as to how many forces can act on an object.


Do action and reaction act on same body?

The force acting on an object "A" from outside is action force , and the reaction force is the force exerted by A to the outside object . Therefore, it is obvious that action force and the corresponding reaction force cannot act on one and the same body.

no its not possible. if there is only one force acting on an object.


Can an object be in equilibrium when only one force acts on it?

Mechanical Equilibrium is the state in which 2 or More forces act on an object , and cancel each other out. There has to be an even number of forces for them to cancel each other out. So no, a single force will not achieve mechanical equilibrium.


What is an object in free fall?

An object in free fall is one that has only the force of gravity acting upon it.


What happens to the motion of an object if two unequal forces act on it in opposite directions?

Under these circumstances, the object will be pulled/pushed in the direction the stronger force is acting. (The stronger force overcomes the weaker one.)
