ok when there are 2 equal froces pushing together, lets say on a box, the box will not move and the net force is 0. think if this: 0 movement= 0 net force. alrighty?

∙ 13y agoThe net translation force is zero, but if the forces are not co-linear the object rotates due to the torque energy. 2FxD where D is the separation between the forces.

Wiki User
∙ 6y agoyou simply subtract the two forces

When you add equal forces excerted in opposite directions the net force does what?
Zero
What happens to an object's motion when 2 equal forces act on an object in opposite directions?
Nothing! If the two forces are equal and opposite then they will cancel each other out. What will happen next is described in Newton's First law when it says "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force". Two equal and opposite forces have the same effect as no force, therefore the object's motion will remain the same as if it had never been acted upon by the two opposite forces.
If 2 force act on the object in the same or opposite directions what willbe the net force of the object in 2 cases?
There is no net force OF the object. If the forces act in the same direction, the net force is magnitude of the net force is the sum of the forces and acts in the same direction. If the forces act in opposite directions, the magnitude of the net force will be the difference between their magnitudes and it will act in the direction of the larger of the two forces.
What Describes forces that are equal but opposite in direction when they act on an object they cancel each other out and no change occurs in the object's motion?
Equilibrium
What is the unbalanced force on an object when two equal and opposite forces of 3 N act on an object?
When two forces acting on an object are not equal in size, we say that they are unbalanced forces. a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force. ... a moving object changes speed and/or direction in the direction of the resultant force.
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 for es of equal strength actingis opposite directions on an object called?
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
When equal forces are acting on one object in opposite directions are called?
Neutral or in equilibrium
Can an object be at be at rest if forces are being applied to it?
Yes, if the forces are equal and acting in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero and that object can be said to be at rest.
Is it false that balance forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called its momentum
When 2 equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions the net force is?
Zero.
If the forces on an object is balanced what does it tell you about the size and direction of the force?
It tells us that the sizes of forces are equal and directions of forces are opposite.
Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
If forces on an object are equal and opposite then what are they called?
They are called COUPLE.if forces on an object are equal and opposite...
What happens to an object's motion if two equal forces act on it in opposite directions?
Pay attention and study
Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have a force acting on it?

What are equal forces that move in opposite directions?
Balanced forces
