Forces can be added if they are in the same direction. If they are in opposing directions, then they are subtracting, and if they are in directions less that 180 degrees, then the rules of geometry are applied to find the total force.

Is it true forces can be added together only if they are acting on different objects?

No, forces can be added together on the same object if they are acting in different directions. The net force on the object is the sum of all the individual forces acting on it.

When two forces act in the same direction they are what together?

When two forces act in the same direction, they are added together to create a resultant force that is equal to the sum of the two individual forces. This is known as the principle of superposition in physics.

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
