Best Answer

the forces cancel each other out

Huh?

The forces simply add. F1x + F2x = F3x

What happens when two forces act in the same direction on the same object?

To vague of a question


What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the same direction as the movement?

The object will move faster


What happens when a balanced pair of forces acts on a single object?

When all forces are balanced, the object is either stationairy or moving in one direction inTekkit - Episode 2 a constant speed


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 happens when two equal force act on a object?

The object doesn't move in either of the two directions. I am learning about this in sci., two equal forces equal one big force pushing upon an object moving in the opposite direction. It depends on the direction of the individual forces, if in opposite direction then as per the first answer, if in the same direction then the force is equal to the sum of the forces. If tangental then a vector is produced, that is an angle to the two forces


How do you find the net force when two forces act the same direction?

If many forces act in the same direction on an object, then the net force is their sum.


Do you add or subtract if forces are acting on an object in the same direction?

add


What effect do forces have on a moving object?

Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.


What is th calculate net force for forces in the same direction?

If two or more forces act on the same object, and in the same direction, you can calculate the net force by simply adding them.


When two forces act on an object in the same direction the resultant force is equal to the?

The equation is a+b=c. If two forces act on an object in the same direction (a and b) then the net force ( c ) is equal to sum of the two acting forces.


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.


What do you do if an object has two forces in the same direction?

In that case, you can add up the two forces, to get a combined force.
