All you have to do is add all the forces. For example if you are pushing a block with a force of 5N to the right and pushing it to the left with a force of 3N the answer would be 2N to the right.

Which two properties determine an objects acceleration?

It's mass and the net force acting on it


What Combination of all of the force acting on an object?

This would be known as the net-force.


What two factors determine how great an objects acceleration is?

-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it


If you know the objects mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object?

True


Why do you need to know the direction of the force to determine the net force?

You don't, if there's only one force involved. When there are two or more, then the net force is the result of the strength and direction of each one.For example, if I push a shopping cart forward and you push it backward with exactly the same force, the net force is zero and the cart doesn't start moving.


How do you combine unequal forces acting in opposite directions?

By adding a positive force to a negative force and determining which side has a greater strength will determine the net force.


Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?

Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.

What are the sum of all forces acting on an object?

I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.


How are interference and net force related?

Net force and interference are related because net force is a force and interference is putting a force on something.
