You calculate the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. For example, if one force is in the positive direction, say 8N, and another force is in the opposite direction, say -7N, the net force would be 8N + (-7N) = 1N.

When you add equal forces excerted in opposite directions the net force does what?
Zero
Explain how a swarm of flying insects can have a net momentum of zero?
If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.
Forces can be added together only if they are what?
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 does it means when something has three shadows?
three different source of light from three different directions
What is the unbalanced force that makes an object at rest move into a state of motion?
This is best Answered by realizing that "balanced Forces cannot, collectively, Produce Motion"; ergo, only unbalanced forces can provide - or change the state of - Motion.
These forces push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
divergent bounders or shearing forces
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.
In newtons third law the action and reaction forces?
The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.
What are the forces that push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
convection currentsthe conduction of faults zonedivergent bounders or shearing forces
What is a resultant?
A resultant is when a force equivelent to two or more other forces acting in different directions at the same point.AnswerA resultant is when a force equivelent to two or more other forces acting in different directions at the same point.
A frictional fore is the sum of all of the other forces from different directions acting on the object?
i ment to put force
Does shearing forces push rocks from different but not opposite directions?
this kind of fault occurs at a transform plate boundaries
What are equal forces that move in opposite directions?
Balanced forces
What forces push on rocks from not different but opposite directions?
Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.
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.
When finding net force why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an objects?
Forces have directions and can cancel themselves in the netting.
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.
