When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.

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.
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 two forces act in opposite directions, the object will alternate in the same direction as the___________ force.?
balanced
How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?
forces in the same direction can be added to give us the resultant force and opposite force will subtracted to get resultant force
How can forces act?
By the direction
When two equal forces act in opposite direction they balance?
Cancel
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 are force said to be added and when are they subtracted?
if two forces act in same direction they r added and if they act in opposite direction they r subtracted
Can you calculate net force when forces act in the same direction In opposite directions?

What two forces act in opposite directions, the object will alternate in the same direction as the___________ force.?
balanced
If 2 force act on the object in the same or opposite directions what willbe the net force of the object in 2 cases?
There is no net force OF the object. If the forces act in the same direction, the net force is magnitude of the net force is the sum of the forces and acts in the same direction. If the forces act in opposite directions, the magnitude of the net force will be the difference between their magnitudes and it will act in the direction of the larger of the two forces.
How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?
forces in the same direction can be added to give us the resultant force and opposite force will subtracted to get resultant force
If two forces areequal in size but in opposite directions?
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces.
How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite?
You subtract the smaller force from the larger one.
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are .?
balanced forces
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction Are?
balanced forces
