The cart will have a non-zero net force and thus the cart will be accelerated, meaning it's velocity will change over time ( f = ma).

To find the net force, you would need to vectorially add each individual force.

If the sum of all the forces in all directions is zero, than the object will remain motionless, as stated in Newton's 1st law of motion: "Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed."

The resultant force is applied as if that is the only force.

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.

When will acceleration happen?

if there unequal velocities in equal intervals of time.


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.
