That depends on the direction of the forces. If the two forces act in the same direction, the resultant force will be doubled and if the two forces act in the oppsite direction, the resultant force will be null or zero.

Why is friction called perverse force?
because it always opposes the direction of the applied force.
How does the amount of friction affect an object's stopping distance?
Friction always occurs between two or more objects, not between a single object as the question asks. The three factors that determine the amount of resistive force (friction) between two objects in contact are:The magnitude of the force binding the two objects together. If one object is the ground, then this is likely the force due to gravity. In a disk braking system, this is the force of the brake pad pressing against the brake disk.The magnitude of the force, and/or inertia, causing one object to rub or drag against the other. In a braking system, the force comes from the engine and the inertia is dependent on the speed and the mass of the vehicle.The Coefficient of Friction of the two surfaces facing each other. In a braking system, this is sort-of equivalent to the 'roughness' of the surface of the brake pad when rubbed against the spinning brake disk.
What were the major fighting events on the kokoda track?
The 7th Australian Division, and a Japanese force equivalent to two regiments.
What are two ways the nervous system can control the force generated by a muscle?
The two ways that the nervous system can control the force generated by a muscle are by increasing amount and size of contactable muscle units and increasing how often action potentials are sent from the brain to the muscle.
When measuring torque is a two foot-pound measurement the equivalent of two pounds of force applied one foot from the pivot point or one pound of force two feet from the pivot point?
The way torque works, these two cases give the same torque, or twisting force, to the object at the pivot point. To find the torque applied, multiply the force by the distance. Obviously this is the same in the two cases you describe.
What is equal to the ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system?
The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is two times the number of pulleys in the system. This is the amount of force required to get the system moving.
How strong is nuclear force?
The force between two nucleons depends on the distance. According to the Wikipedia article, the maximum attractive force, at a distance of about 1 fm (femtometer), is in the order of 25,000 newton. This force is equivalent to the weight of a 2.5-tonne mass.
What is an ionic condition?
A chemical link between two atoms caused by the electrostatic force between oppositely-charged ions in an ionic compound.
Isostacy is the balance between what two forces?
Gravity and buoyancyWhat two forces are balanced when a system is in isostasy?Downward gravity and upward buoyancy
What is the Air Force buddy system?
The Air Force buddy system is when two friends who want to go to the military together sign up and do everything together from there on out, you're basically glued to the hip. This is an older system that's been used, not usually done now.
What is the difference between toggle condition and race around condition?
A race condition is an undesirable situation that occurs when a device or system attempts to perform two or more operations at the same time, but because of the nature of the device or system, the operations must be done in the proper sequence in order to be done correctly.
What two mechanisms influence the force of cardiac contraction?
End diastolic volume and sympathetic nervous system stimulation
