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.

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.

What are the 2 things necessary for evolution to occur?

Answer 1Two broad processes that make evolution possible are 1 : directional forces including mutation , migration and selection and 2: nondirectional forces that include random genetic drift , bottleneck effect , founders effect ,and chance variations .Answer 2Evolution is most commonly described as a combination of reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.Reproductive variation in itself is a "non-directional" phenomenon, that produces mostly random variations. Differential reproductive success (or: natural selection) is a "directional" phenomenon, that basically acts as a mechanism limiting the set of "directions" produced by random variation.

2 balance forces cancel each other out they are in what?

Equilibrium.


Do balanced forces of unequal strengths cancel out each other?

If the forces are balanced, that means they cancel out one another - their vector sum is zero. This can't happen with two forces of unequal magnitude (strength), but it is possible to have three or more forces of unequal magnitude cancel one another; for example (in a one-dimensional example), forces of 3, -2, and -1.

What is the defonaition for Unbalanced?

balanced means that the resultant would be 0 (i.e the 2 (or more) forces cancel each other out) unbalanced means that the resultant force is NOT 0


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 2 equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions the net force is?

Zero. The forces cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of zero.


If the 2 forces are equal and opposite direction can you cancel the acceleration Why?

Yes, if two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they will cancel each other out. As a result, there will be no net force acting on the object, and according to Newton's second law (F=ma), with no net force, there will be no acceleration of the object.


What happens when 2 forces act in same direction?

according to vector addition: i: if the forces are equal then they will cancel each other and body will be in equilibrium. ii: if they are not equal then they will produce a net force in particular direction.


Can an object be in equilibrium when only one force acts on it?

Mechanical Equilibrium is the state in which 2 or More forces act on an object , and cancel each other out. There has to be an even number of forces for them to cancel each other out. So no, a single force will not achieve mechanical equilibrium.


Are 2 forces going in the same direction balanced?

Yes, if two forces are going in the same direction and have equal magnitude, they are considered balanced. This means that they will cancel each other out, resulting in no net force acting on the object.
