Two forces acting in the same direction cause the body to speed up (accelerate) if the forces are acting in opposite directions, subtract one from the other. The difference is the net force on the body and will be the direction in which it accelerates. Obviously, if they're the same size and opposite in direction, providing the body is rigid (it doesn't deform, in other words), the stat of motion of the body will stay the same (either at rest or moving at a steady speed in a straight line).
What else can I help you with?
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
What two forces can make an object move?
Two forces that can make an object move are external forces, such as pushing or pulling it, and gravitational forces acting on the object.
When do two forces that are applied to an object reinforce each other?
Two forces applied to an object reinforce each other when they are in the same direction. This means their magnitudes add up to produce a stronger overall force acting on the object.
When an object is at rest what are the forces acting on it?
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
What are two forces that are always acting on an object?
Two forces that are always acting on an object are gravity, which pulls the object towards the center of the Earth, and normal force, which is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
What are the effects on an object when two or more opposing forces of unequal mangnitudes are simultaneously applied to the object?
If there are two or more unequal forces acting on an object then the object will be acting on the forces. ^_^
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.

What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
What are two forces that are always acting on an object?
Two forces that are always acting on an object are gravity, which pulls the object towards the center of the Earth, and normal force, which is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.
When 2 forces are acting on an object in the same direction we combine them by?
When two forces are acting on an object in the same direction, we combine them by adding their magnitudes together to find the net force acting on the object.
What are two different forces acting in opposite directions called?
Two forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. When balanced forces act on an object, the object's motion remains constant or remains at rest.
What is it called when two or more forces are acting on an object?
When two or more forces are acting on an object, it is called a net force. The net force is the overall force that results from combining all the individual forces.
How do you get net force?
Add up all the forces acting on the object, and be careful to take the direction ofeach force into consideration.When you do that, you'll notice that 5 pounds of force pushing the object north, and5 pounds of force pushing the object south, cancel each other and add up to zero,just as if neither of those two forces was there at all.When you finish adding up all the forces on the object in that way, whatever forceyou finish with is the net force on the object.
