What best detirmines the net force when more than one force is acting on an object?

You need to get the vector sum. You can do this by resoving all forces into its 3 axis components, adding forces in like axes, and compute the new vector.

The net force acting on an stationary object is zero Which best describes the object's velocity?
In that case, the object's velocity won't change.
What term best describes the forces acting on an object with the net force of zero?
An object at rest, or an object with a constant velocity are the two possible states of an object with zero net force. An object with zero acceleration has zero net force. There many be several forces acting on the object, such as the force of gravity and the normal force of the ground. Even though an object sitting on the ground has two forces acting on it (gravity, and the normal force) the object does not accelerate because these forces are equal and opposite. An object with zero net force has all forces acting on it equally balanced and cancelling out
What word best descibes a push or pull on an object?
A push or a pull on an object is a force on that object.
What object is best for providing a pushing force?
chain
Why is less force neede needed to keep an object moving than to start the object in motion.?
The best, purest answer is: Because no force at all is required to keep a moving object moving.
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object you should?
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object, you should both exert the largest force possible upon the object in question and extend that force for as long as possible. This is so because the greater the force acting on an object results in a greater change in velocity, which in turn yields a greater momentum. In addition to exerting the largest force possible on an object, you should also extend that force over the longest period of time as possible, as the sustained force also produces more momentum. As p= m•v, the best method in obtaining the greatest amount for 'p' would be to manipulate either the 'm' or 'v' variables. Force= acceleration= change in velocity= MOMENTUM. Greater amount of time= MOMENTUM
Which of these best defines work?
applying a force to move an object in the same direction
Can a force acting perpendicularly on a body cancel which is acting horizontally on the same?
That is difficult to answer in that a horizontal force may be perpendicular to the body. So, the question does not differentiate between "can a vertical force cancel a horizontal force?" and "can a horizontal force cancel a horizontal force?" The best answer is, yes: two opposite and equal horizontal forces, both perpendicular to a body, will cancel each other.
What best describes what must happen in order for a person to lift an object?
The force of gravity must be greater than the mass of the object
What does 'co-efficient of friction' mean?
The amount of friction force that acts upon a body of mass depends on two factors: the property of the object and the normal force acting on the body. "Coefficient of friction" refers to the property of the material; in other words, the higher the coefficient of friction, larger the friction force is. The force of friction can be represented by this equation: FF = µFN. µ in this case represents the coefficient of friction. It can best be described as the numerical value that equates to the property of the object we are dealing with. µ does not have units; this reinforces the idea that it is just a numerical value that represents how "rough" or "smooth" the surface of an object is. Simply, the coefficient of friction is a way to describe, symbolically and numerically, how hard it is to move an object along a surface that the object is in contact with.
What would be the reading on forcemeter if An object is weighed in air and in water?
i believe, and i may be wrong, bet the force required to move the object in the water will be less than the force required to move the object through the air. the best bet for you to see this is to try it for yourself.
Why is less force needed to keep an object moving than to start the object in motion?
1). Because maintaining an object in motion requires no force, but causing a non-moving object to move involves acceleration which does require force. 2). Because kinetic friction is generally less than static friction.
