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.

The size of two forces which cancel out each other?

If two forces cancel each other out, their magnitudes must be equal and opposite in direction. This means that the size of each force is the same but they act in opposite directions, resulting in a net force of zero.

What are forces that don't cancel each other out called?

Forces that don't cancel each other out are called unbalanced forces. When two or more forces act in opposite directions and do not cancel each other completely, they create a net force that results in an acceleration of the object.


Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?

Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.


Two forces that cancel each other out?

When two forces cancel each other out, they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This results in a net force of zero and no change in the object's motion. An example is a book resting on a table where the force of gravity pulling it down is balanced by the normal force of the table pushing it up.
