They add together. *Note: when dealing with vector forces, adding them together could result in larger, smaller or even negative numbers, based upon the signs' of the original numbers

Can action-reaction forces always act in the same direction?
No, they can NEVER act in the same directions.
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.
In newtons third law the action and reaction forces?
The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.
What happens when two forces act in opposite directions with the same amount of force?
If this happens then they will get pushed apart. Otherwise nothing really will happen unless there is objects at the end were it is pushing.
When 2 forces act in the same direction do the forces cancel each other out?
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
When 2 forces act on an object in the same directions the resultant force is equal to the?
vector sum of the two forces.
What happens to an object's motion if two equal forces act on it in opposite directions?
Pay attention and study
What happens when 2 forces act on an object in oppposite directions?
The object accelerates in the direction of the force difference.
Can you calculate net force when forces act in the same direction In opposite directions?
gummy worms
When 2 equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions the net force is?
Zero.
When two forces P and Q acting along the same line then its resultant?
In that case, the resultant will either be the sum or the difference of the two forces (if they act in the same direction) or their difference (if they act in opposite directions).
What happens when forces are going in opposite directions?
Assuming the two forces are acting ON THE SAME OBJECT, you can subtract the two forces, to get the net force. Important: This does not apply to Newton's Third Law, since the forces act on DIFFERENT OBJECTS. I mention this because people tend to get this confused.
