Yes, it is possible for an object to cast several shadows. One example, is that of a footballer on a floodlit pitch. If he is in the central region of the field, you will usually see four shadows: one from each of the corner floodlights.
because light may be hitting it from many different areas or views.
Shadows are caused when an object blocks part of a beam of light that is falling on a surface. The surface areas receiving less light are darker (less illuminated by the light) and may assume the same general shape of the object causing the shadow.
You apply a force to an object. The object must move in the same way as the applied force
Yes but they will not make the object start, they will only work once the object is going and will keep the object going the same speed from when the unbalenced forces stop.
Use a flashlight

Two light sources at different angles with respect to the object.
If the object was a regular shape (a cube for example) it would cast the same shadow from any angle. An irregular shape (such as a car) will cast different shadows dependent upon the source of the light.
No, it is not possible for a human to have two distinct shadows at the same time. Shadows are created when an object blocks light, so having two separate shadows would require two different light sources in opposite directions, which is not a typical scenario.

I believe the first experiment measure the length of shadows at two widely separated locations. They used an object of known lenght and took the measurement at the same time of day. The shadows were different lengths that indicated the sun was at a different angle.

No. But it is uncommon to come across two materials that do.

you put four of the same oitcher
