Balanced Force.
The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.
An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.
It depends on the angle between the two forces. It can be anything from 1 newton (if they're acting in exactly opposite directions) to 7 newtons (if they're acting in exactly the same direction).
Newtons third law.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.
If 5 newtons of force are pulling against another 5 newtons of force in opposite directions, there will be a net force of 0 newtons, resulting in no movement or acceleration. The forces are balanced and cancel each other out.
If each student is pushing with a force of 50 newtons in opposite directions, the net force will be the difference between the forces, which would be 0 newtons since they are equal and opposite. So, the net force on the box would be 0 newtons.
An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.
The tension in the rope will be 100 Newtons. Each force of 100 Newtons will act in opposite directions on the rope, resulting in an equal tension force along the length of the rope.
If each horse is pulling with 100 newtons of force, then this is a balanced force system in a Static State.
It depends on the angle between the two forces. It can be anything from 1 newton (if they're acting in exactly opposite directions) to 7 newtons (if they're acting in exactly the same direction).
When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.
In that case (ignoring the weight of the rope, for simplicity), the tension at any point of the rope will also be 100 N.
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.
A force vector of -3 Newtons indicates that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the positive direction, with a magnitude of 3 Newtons.
Draw two arrows pointing in opposite directions, one labelled 20 N and the other labelled 16 N. The net force would be the difference between the two forces, which is 4 N. The resultant force would be in the direction of the larger force, so 4 N in the direction of the 20 N force.
