When 2 forces act on an object in the same directions the resultant force is equal to the?

vector sum of the two forces.


What happens when 2 forces act on an object in oppposite directions?

When two forces act on an object in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the two forces. The object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force. If the forces are equal in magnitude, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.

Are there any unusual ways forces can act in pairs?

Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points. Thus, even if you have forces of equal magnitude in opposite directions, the object can start to rotate.Thus, there are two conditions for an object to be in equilibrium:1. The sum of all forces is zero.2. The sum of all torques is zero.Torque is the term used for forces that can cause rotation.Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points.

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 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.


What upwards force act on an object in water?

An object in water ... whether floating or completely submerged ... is acted upon by two forces in the vertical direction: 1). its weight, directed downward, equal to its (mass) times (acceleration of gravity) 2). its buoyancy, directed upward, equal to the weight of the water that it displaces


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.


If two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force will be balanced?

Equal means the forces are of equal magnitude. And they act exactly in opposite directions. Then certainly the resultant effect will be zero. So we say that the forces are set in balanced condition. Hence balanced.


What are 2 effects unbalanced forces can have on an object?

Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force, leading to a change in its speed or direction of motion. Additionally, unbalanced forces can cause the object to deform or break if the forces exceed the object's strength or structural integrity.


What is a pair of opposing forces that act on water as it goes through the water?

Capillary action and gravity is a a pair of opposing forces that act on water as it goes down through the soil.
