Yes, when all the forces acting on a body have been resolved, the final force is known as the 'net force' acting on that body.

direction or exactly the opposite, then they can simply be added and subtracted.

How is net force on an object determined?
Add the different forces together to find the net force. For example, if you have a force of -5N acting on an object and another force of 8N acting on that object, the net force is 3 N.
If An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force balanced force normal forces?
If the object accelerates, that means the forces are NOT balanced.
What is unbalanced force?
Unbalanced forces are forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object.
Definition of unbalanced forces?
The definition of unbalanced force is a force that together can equal a certain number and will make a change of the objects motion. or an unequal balance of forces on an object
Is it true or false that unbalancing the forces acting on an object gives you net force?
It is true that if the forces on an object are not balanced then there will be a non-zero net force on that object.
A(n) force is the overall force on an object after all the forces are added together.?
force
What force is the overallforce on an object after all the forces are added together?
net force
What is the overallforce on an object after all the forces are added together?
net force
The overall force of an object after all the forces are added together is called the?
Net Force.
What is the over all force on an object after all forces are added together called?
Since it is a vector sum, you can call it a resultant force. It is also known as the net force acting on the object.
When can forces be added together?
forces can be added only when they both are going in the same direction as 2n + 2n = 4n of force in the same direction if they are 2 facing forces they would have had to be subtracted, which ever force is greater that will be the momentum of the force
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
When you add all the forces acting on an object together what do you get?
net force
What is the net force equation?
It means the same as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Note that since forces are vectors, they have to be added as such. For example, an book resting on a table has gravity pulling it down; on the other hand, the table is pushing the book upwards (by Newton's Third Law; since the book pushes down on the table). Adding all the forces together, you get a zero force - which must be so, for the object to remain at rest.
The term that means all of the forces together on an object is?
net force
When forces are exerted in the same direction the forces are?
their magnitudes are added together, resulting in a stronger force
When two forces acting in the same direction are applied to a mass what is the combined force?
The combined force (net force) are the two forces added together.
