The result will be R= 2fcos(angle/2). If the angle between the two forces is 180 degrees ( exactly opposite) the result is zero.

These forces push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
divergent bounders or shearing forces
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.
When two forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force is caculated by what?
By the vector sum of the forces. When the forces act exactly in opposite directions, you subtract one force from the other. When they act at some other angle, the calculation is a bit more complicated.
The size of two forces which cancel out each other?
When two forces cancel each other out, -- their magnitudes (size) must be exactly equal -- their directions must be exactly opposite.
What are the forces that push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
convection currentsthe conduction of faults zonedivergent bounders or shearing forces
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 forces push on rocks from not different but opposite directions?
Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.
Does shearing forces push rocks from different but not opposite directions?
this kind of fault occurs at a transform plate boundaries
When two forces act equally on an object in opposite directions it is called?
balanced Forces
What is meant by like and unlike parallel forces?
Like Parallel forces are the forces that are parallel to each other and have same direction. Unlike parallel forces are the forces that are parallel but have directions opposite to each other.
