Tension
Tension forces can pull or stretch an object in opposite directions. These forces arise when two ends of an object are pulled in opposite directions, causing the object to stretch and experience tension. Examples include a rope being pulled from both ends or a rubber band being stretched.

No, shearing results when forces within the earth are applied in opposite horizontal directions parallel to a given surface. This causes the surface to shift or deform without any vertical movement.
False. Shearing results when forces within the Earth are applied parallel to each other in opposite directions causing rocks to slide past each other horizontally.
If forces are equal, it means that they have the same magnitude but opposite directions. This results in a state of equilibrium, where there is no net force acting on the object.
Balanced forces
If the forces on an object are balanced, it means that the size and direction of the forces are equal and opposite. This results in no acceleration of the object, and it remains in a state of equilibrium.
Tensional forces typically cause an object to stretch or elongate. These forces act in opposite directions along an object and can result in deformation or breakage if they exceed the object's strength.
When two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions on an object, it is called balanced forces. This results in no change in the object's motion.
You subtract two forces when they act in opposite directions along the same line. Subtracting these forces results in finding the net force acting on the object in that particular direction.
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
