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.

What is two forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are in German?
Balanced Forces
Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
How can you find the net force if two forces act in opposite?
You subtract the smaller force from the larger one.
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.
When 2 or more forces cancel their effect?
When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved. If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.

When two equal forces act in opposite direction they balance?
Cancel
How can 2 forces be balanced?
Yes. Two forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction would be balanced.
Why don't two forces balance each other?
Two forces do balance each other out, as long as the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
When two forces are acting in the opposite direction how do you calculate the net force?
gravity
When two bodies interact the forces on the bodies are equal in magnitude and -------- in direction?
opposite
