You just add the forces in this case.

Give 2 examples of ways that force can be unbalenced?

a force can be unbalanced when 2 people are pushing a table both people are pushing in the same direction


When tow people are pushing on a desk in same direction as reference direction what will happen to object?

If the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction, the desk will start moving.


Does force have a direction?

Force does have direction as it is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Force is due to an x and a y component which are both perpendicular to each other. yes a force always has a partticular diraction. e.g;if u r pushing a box in some direction it will accelerate in the direction of force yes a force always has a partticular diraction. e.g;if u r pushing a box in some direction it will accelerate in the direction of force


What is the Scientific name for pushing and pulling?

FORCE it may be reffered to as resistance if it's direction is opposite to the motion direction


Two people push on a ball from the same sides they both exert a force of 120 newtons what is the size of the net force?

They is a little unclear. If the people are pushing opposing sides the net force is zero N however if you meant that they are pushing in the same direction than the net force is 240 N


What are direction of a force?

Whatever direction somebody or something is pulling or pushing. The details depend on the situation. cw: "What is the direction of a force?" The (new) direction that the mass accelerates. F=mA


What can net force that is not zero do to an object?

Accelerate it! If the forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction the uneven force is pushing on.


What is th calculate net force for forces in the same direction?

If two or more forces act on the same object, and in the same direction, you can calculate the net force by simply adding them.


When forces are acting in the same direction how do you determine the net force or the force that results from their motion?

Whoa! Force doesn't result from the motion of forces. Let's take it slow. When forces are acting in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the individual forces. Four people, all behind a car, pushing it north. Two men pushing with 200 pounds apiece, two women pushing with 100 pounds apiece. The net force on the car is (200 + 200 + 100 + 100) = 600 pounds north.


What factors is used to calculate work?

Work = Force x Displacement in the direction of the Force.


What will happen when two unbalanced force are exerted in the opposite direction?

The stronger force overpowers the weaker voice. Say that the stronger force is pushing a box to the left, and the weaker force is pushing the box to the right. The stronger force will overpower the weaker force, and the box will move to the left.


Effects of a force on an object?

applying a force to an object, (pushing, pulling, hitting, kicking etc.) can change its speed, its direction and its shape.
