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.

∙ 14y agoIf equal forces are acting on an object in exactly the opposite ways (direction), the net force on the object is zero, and it's acceleration will be zero.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIf two vectors point in the same direction, just add their magnitudes together - in this case, you get 8 Newtons (in the same direction, of course).
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe forces are in the same direction, so it is simple addition of the magnitudes of the forces: 4 N + 4 N = 8 N

The force of friction is directed opposite of the way an object is moving because?
The force of friction is NOT ALWAYS directed opposite the direction an object is moving. Consider, for example, an object (like a book) resting on a piece of paper on a table. If you gently pull the paper and the book moves with the paper, friction between the paper and the book is causing the book to move in the same direction as the paper. Even if you pull a bit faster and the book slides in the same direction as the paper motion, but a little bit slower, the friction is the force which is pulling the book along--in the same direction of the paper motion.The direction friction is acting is opposite the direction of the relative SLIDING or attempted sliding of surfaces. In the cases above, without friction, the book would slide opposite the direction of paper motion, so the friction is in the same direction, accelerating the book along with the paper. In the first case, the book's acceleration is the same as the paper's; in the second, the book's acceleration is less than the paper's causing the book to actually slide backwards relative to the paper's motion.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?
they cause the object to move with acceleration given by A nett force.
What 4 things happen to light when it hits an object?
it can be transmitted, reflected, refracted or diffused. In most cases, some combination of these occurs.
What are forces that always act in equal but opposite pairs?
If the equal and opposite forces are separated by a certain distance they are called as couple. If the equal and opposite forces are not seperated by a certain distance their resultant is zero as per Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition.
Why you fly forward off the bicycle or skateboard when hitting a curb or rock or other object that abruptly halts the motion of the bike or the board?
Its called inertia. It takes work to stop an object that is moving, if you don't have any (as in the cases mentioned), you keep on moving.
What is the opposite of uninformed?
The opposite is "informed." In some cases, the opposite could be aware, cognizant, or knowledgeable.
What happens if you throw handful of cartridges in a fire?
The bullet cases soon explode like a pack of fire crackers. The lead shot may be shot out in all directions. The heat from the fire makes the gunpowder explode and the cartridge and the lead shot, will fire out in opposite directions with the ability to injure or even kill.
Are there cases in which force is not necessary for an object to move?
no
What is the opposite of dark?
The opposite (colors or illumination) is light. In some cases, the opposite would be "bright."bright
What the opposite of 3?
The opposite of 3 is -3 (minus three).
Is a quadrilateral with two opposite side but not equal?
All quadrilaterals have two [pairs] of opposite sides and in most cases they are not equal.
Are seasons opposite above and below the equator?
Yes in some cases
What happends if a asteroid collides with an object?
The result wold depend on the energy created by the collision. In most cases both objects would shatter into pieces that would spin away in a variety of new directions. If the asteroid collides with a much bigger object (a planet) then it will create an impact crater in the planet and the asteroid and a bit of the planet's surface will melt.
How can the net force be zero if there are many forces acting as an object?
if their vector sum is zero it is in equilibrium with no net force. For example if you push in one direction with a force of 10 pounds and someone else pushes with 10 ponds in the opposite direction net force is zero
Why does momentum have a direction?
Because momentum is mass X velocity. Velocity has direction, otherwise it is speed.
What is gravitational force in space?
Same as on Earth. In both cases, you can use the law of gravitation to figure out with how much force an object gets attracted.Same as on Earth.

Which are the quadrilaterals that have their opposite sides equal?
Parallelograms (and their special cases), isosceles trapezium.
