What happens when two forces of different magnitude and opposite direction act on a abject?
Johnsonnative
The difference in size of the forces is calculated, that will then be the force acting in the direction of the larger force.
Force1= 3 N <---
Force2 = 10 N ---------->
Resultant Force = 7 N ------->

What is the minimum possible magnitude of two vectors?
The minimum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is zero. That's what happens when the two vectors have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.The maximum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is the sum of the two individual magnitudes. That's what happens when the two vectors have the same direction.
When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to the object in motion?
It accelerates in the opposite direction. Its velocity increases in the opposite direction to the direction that has been assigned positive.
What happens as these currents move up in opposite directions?
the water or fluid will be moving the opposite direction
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
What happens when a net unbalanced force act on an object?
Moves it the opposite direction.

What are forces equal in strength but opposite in direction?
It happens when 1 force is having larger magnituge and the other is less in magnitude ........ and then the forces does not balance each other Take the example of weight and tension of a body connected by string . weight and tension are always opposite in the direction if the weight is suppose 12 newton and tension is 10 newton , then same thing will happen , they can't balance each other ...... as the strength of weight is more than tension

What happens when a net unbalanced force act on an object?
Moves it the opposite direction.
What happens to an object's velocity when it accelerates?
"Acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.
What happens when two forces acts in opposite direction?
if the values are the same then nothing happens.
What happens if Something is traveling at constant deceleration?
It slows to a rest and then starts moving in the opposite direction at constant acceleration in that direction.
What happens to an image under a microscope if you move it to the right direction?
It is seen in the opposite direction in which you moved it. I did this experiment last Friday.
Why does friction act in the direction of your motion when you are walking?
Because your feet are pushing backwards and therefore the friction opposes in the opposite direction which happens to be the direction in which you are walking.
What happens if you swim into an eddy?
You are either pushed the opposite direction of the current or go nowhere.
