When two forces work in opposite directions you have what?
Then you have a combined force that is smaller in magnitude than the larger of the two 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
How do you find the net force when two forces act in opposite directions?

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.
