No, they sum up to twice one of the forces.

Are 2 forces going in the same direction balanced?

Yes, if two forces are going in the same direction and have equal magnitude, they are considered balanced. This means that they will cancel each other out, resulting in no net force acting on the object.


If a boy is trying to pull a dog on a leash but the dog and the boy are going in the same direction so what describes their forces in the situation?

The forces are balanced, and the net force is zero


What is it called when two forces go in the opposite direction?

If the forces are equal then the net force is 0. If one force is greater than the other than whatever is having the two forces exerted on it will move in the direction of the greater force's direction. The total force will equal the greater force - lesser force. You can draw it in vectors to help visualize. e.g. F1 <------------------*-------> F2 let's say F1 = 5 newtons and F2 = 2 newtons. The combined force would equal 3 newtons going <- direction.


Which describes a bicycle going at a constant speed in a constant direction?

A bicycle moving at a constant speed in a constant direction has no changes in its velocity or acceleration. It is a balanced state of motion where the bike maintains its speed and direction without any external forces acting on it.


How can you tell if a force is balanced or unbalanced by looking at it?

2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.


Do balanced forces make objects move?

No, balanced forces do not make objects move. Balanced forces result in an object maintaining its state of motion or staying at rest. If the forces acting on an object are balanced, there is no net force to cause motion.


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


How do you find the net force when the forces are going in the same direction?

You add them together. If there is no other force in the opposite direction it is also recognized as zero.


What does net force and balanced forces mean?

It actually determines the direction of movement that is going to be caused in it.Net forcealso determines that magnitude of which force is greater when a body is subjected to two or more forces in different directions.


Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?

As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.


What direction would you travel in going from Europe to Australia?

you would have to travel northwest.


How does gravity affect the balanced and unbalanced force?

gravity is definitely a balanced force
