It is not "in spite of" it is because of. The action of the object (e.g. thrust of engine, waving of arms or legs) generates an oppositely directed reaction, causing the object to move in the other direction.
answer
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.
When two forces are acting on an object in opposite directions, we combine them by finding the difference between the magnitudes of the two forces. The direction of the resulting force will be in the direction of the larger force.
answer
Some examples of forces acting in opposite directions include tension and gravity on a hanging object, friction and applied force on a sliding object, and thrust and drag on an airplane in flight.
Forces acting in opposite directions combine by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force to determine the net force.
answer
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.
When equal forces act on an object in opposite directions, they create a state of balance known as equilibrium. This means that the object will not accelerate in any particular direction, but remain stationary or move at a constant velocity.
When two forces are acting on an object in opposite directions, we combine them by finding the difference between the magnitudes of the two forces. The direction of the resulting force will be in the direction of the larger force.
answer
Some examples of forces acting in opposite directions include tension and gravity on a hanging object, friction and applied force on a sliding object, and thrust and drag on an airplane in flight.
Unequal forces acting in opposite directions create a net force that will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The resulting motion depends on the difference between the forces and the mass of the object.
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
Neutral or in equilibrium
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
Unequal forces in opposite directions can result in a net force acting in the direction of the larger force. This can cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the greater force due to the imbalance in forces acting on it.
