What happens to the motion of an object if two unequal forces act on it in opposite directions?

Under these circumstances, the object will be pulled/pushed in the direction the stronger force is acting. (The stronger force overcomes the weaker one.)

How do you combine unequal forces acting in opposite directions?
By adding a positive force to a negative force and determining which side has a greater strength will determine the net force.
What can you say about an object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces?
An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.

What are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?
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.
What are equal forces that move in opposite directions?
Balanced forces
What happens when the applied force is equal to the kinetic friction?
Presumably, the forces are in opposite directions. In that case, the total force is zero, and there will be no acceleration.
What happens when forces act in the opposite directions?
If they are equal in values - nothing. Otherwise, it will move to the same direction as the direction of the greater force.
What happens when forces are unbalanced?
When the opposing forces are not balanced, it can result in :- 1. Translation - when the unequal forces are being applied at the same point. 2. Rotation - when the unequal forces are being applied at different points.

These forces push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
divergent bounders or shearing forces
