No, it's the same.

Resultant is the mathematical term for the vector you get when you add several vectors together.

When one force is greater than the opposite force you have?

A net resultant force.


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.


What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?

Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force


How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?

forces in the same direction can be added to give us the resultant force and opposite force will subtracted to get resultant force


What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?

0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.


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

This would be known as the net-force.


How do you canculate net force?

Net force is the resultant force, so it is the applied force minus all the opposing forces


A single force whose external effects on a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body?

Resultant force


The is the combination of all forces acting on an object?

that is called the net force; it is a vector sum of all the forces acting on it


What is the maximum resultant possible when adding a 4 net force to a 13 net force?

13N + 4N = 17N


What is a net or resultant force that enables an object to accelerate?

The net force that enables an object to accelerate is a force greater than zero.


How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?

The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
