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.

What forces typically holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
In a solid what is the attraction between particles?
Solids are held together but different types of intermolecular forces. The nature of these forces depends on the compound. In nonpolar substances, only dispersion forces at work. In polar compounds, dipole-dipole forces also hold the molecules together. Since dipole-dipole forces are stronger than dispersion forces, polar compounds usually have a higher melting point than nonpolar ones.
What two forces act on the paper cup as the repeling magnets contend to keep it in this position?
Gravitational force (gravity) acting downwards and the normal force of the table acting on the cup upwards. These two forces when added together equal zero. Therefore, there is no movement. They keep that cup and its contents in position.
What are the forces holding each type of crystalline solid together?
Electro-magnetic.
Atoms of a pure substance are held together by?
Van der Vaals's forces of attraction are responsible for holding together atoms of an element.
Is it true forces can be added together only if they are acting on different objects?
Yes, it is true
Which type of elastic force is present in the string on a guitar?
forces can be added together only if they are
When two forces in the same direction they are together?
Added together.
When two forces act in the same direction they are what together?
Added together.
When two forces act in the same direction what are together?
Added together.
When two forces act in the same direction they are together.?
Added together.
When forces are added together it is called?
re connection
A(n) force is the overall force on an object after all the forces are added together.?
force
When forces are exerted in the same direction the forces are?
their magnitudes are added together, resulting in a stronger force
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 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
What is the overallforce on an object after all the forces are added together?
net force
