No, the magnitude of the resulting force when forces are combined is at MOST equal to the sum of forces, this is when they are all in the same direction. Else its magnitude will always be less than the sum of magnitudes of the individual forces involved (some forces will be oposing or "fighting" others).

When one force is stronger or greater than another force we say the forces are?

Is it unbalanced forces.


What is it called when two forces go in the opposite direction?

If the forces are equal then the net force is 0. If one force is greater than the other than whatever is having the two forces exerted on it will move in the direction of the greater force's direction. The total force will equal the greater force - lesser force. You can draw it in vectors to help visualize. e.g. F1 <------------------*-------> F2 let's say F1 = 5 newtons and F2 = 2 newtons. The combined force would equal 3 newtons going <- direction.


When two forces work in opposite directions you have what?

Then you have a combined force that is smaller in magnitude than the larger of the two forces.


What are forces that have a net force greater than zero called?

unbalanced


The momentum must be greater than the force?

You have not described a specific situation, but there are situations in which momentum is not greater than force. Many different momentums and forces are possible.


If one force is greater than the otherthe net force is in the direction of the force?

Yes, when one force is greater than the other, the net force will be in the direction of the larger force. The net force is the combination of all forces acting on an object, and the direction of the net force is determined by the relative magnitudes and directions of the individual forces.


When several people are pushing on a large rock and it starts to roll what do you know about the forces acting on the track?

When the rock starts to roll, it suggests that the combined force from the people pushing is greater than the forces resisting the rock's movement, such as friction. This demonstrates that the net force acting on the rock is in the direction of motion.


When a fixed object is pulled by a force it will?

accelerate in the direction of the force if the force is greater than the opposing forces like friction.


What is an unblanced force?

An unbalanced force is when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate or change its motion. This can occur when there is a greater force acting in one direction compared to opposing forces.


What are the 2 forces involved in sinking and floating?

Gravity is pulling down, and Buoyancy is pushing up. When the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, objects sink. When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, objects float.


What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?

If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object, it will float on the surface of a fluid. This is known as buoyancy, where the upward force from the fluid exceeds the downward force of gravity on the object.


When the net force acting on an object is greater than zero the forces are?

"unbalanced"
