Equal and opposite forces. Imagine 2 people pushing a car, one at the front and one at the back. If they are both pushing with the same force, the car will not move.
The equal and opposite reaction in the force felt by the object pushing the box. E.g. if a person pushes a box the opposite force is the force felt on the hands
They are called COUPLE.if forces on an object are equal and opposite...
The object doesn't move in either of the two directions. I am learning about this in sci., two equal forces equal one big force pushing upon an object moving in the opposite direction. It depends on the direction of the individual forces, if in opposite direction then as per the first answer, if in the same direction then the force is equal to the sum of the forces. If tangental then a vector is produced, that is an angle to the two forces
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called

Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite. By Newton's Third Law, if object A attracts object B, then object B also attracts object A - with an equal but opposite force. But those forces act on DIFFERENT objects! The forces on object A, and on object B, may be unbalanced!Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite.

What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions are called balanced forces. If they are on the same line of action, they are called couple forces.
C. equal
A surface pushing up, equal and opposite to a force pushing against it
If an object is stationary on a surface then the forces acting on it are the Gravitational force and the Normal force(the force of the surface pushing back against the object). Technically you could be pulling(or pushing) that object from opposite directions with equal forces and it would remain stationary. The important thing to understand is that a stationary object remains stationary so long as the net forces applied to it equal zero.
If the object is floating on the surface of the fluid, like a boat, then the fluid is exerting the normal force on the object. The normal force is a force that is equal and opposite to the force of gravity acting on an object. If the object is under the water then the weight of the water above the object is pushing down on it.
An example of such a force is friction, but a term for forces that act against motion are decelerative forces.Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, these can be in any direction and may or may not influence an object in motion.
