If several forces act in different directions on a body - in which direction will the body move?

The object behaves as if there were a single force acting on it,
which is the vector sum of the multiple forces.

Write a example for like parallel forces?
the bag of apples ........ the weights of the apples are acting in same direction so it is an example of parallel forces
Why is bone anisotropic?
Bone is considered anisotropic because it responds differently if forces are applied in different directions. Bone can handle large forces applied in the longitudinal plane (tension and compression); bone is not as strong in handling forces applied transversely across its surface.The differences between the properties of the cancellous and cortical bone contribute to the anisotropy of the bone. Cancellous bone provides bending strength, and cortical bone provides significant compressive strength.
What does Chronobiology study?
The study of forces that controls the body at different times of the day, month, and the year.
3. Some forces act at a distance and thus do not require .?
Force is split into 2 different "types" contact forces act between 2 objects that are TOUCHING, non-contact forces act as a distance and are not contacting. So the answer would be contact.
Can an object moving at a constant speed have acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over a given time period. Velocity is a vector quantity: it includes speed and direction. That being said, you can accelerate an object without changing its speed by simply changing its direction. A body moving along the circumference of a circle its speed may remain a constant, but its velocity will not be a constant since its direction of motion continuously changes, since the velocity changes it has an acceleration.
How are the size and direction of action-reaction forces are related?
Size: the same. Direction: the forces are in opposite directions.
How do forces work in different directions?
You calculate the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. For example, if one force is in the positive direction, say 8N, and another force is in the opposite direction, say -7N, the net force would be 8N + (-7N) = 1N.
Do all forces have magnitude and direction?
they have the certain directions and magnitude
If the forces on an object is balanced what does it tell you about the size and direction of the force?
It tells us that the sizes of forces are equal and directions of forces are opposite.
What direction do the gravitational forces act?
they not only push down on you but they push you from all directions
What is meant by like and unlike parallel forces?
Like Parallel forces are the forces that are parallel to each other and have same direction. Unlike parallel forces are the forces that are parallel but have directions opposite to each other.
When 2 forces act in the same direction do the forces cancel each other out?
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.
What does unbalanced force do to an object?
The forces cause the object to move in the direction of the net force. If there are two unbalanced forces in opposite directions, the object will go in the direction of the stronger force.
What are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions?
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions are called balanced forces. If they are on the same line of action, they are called couple forces.
What happens when forces act in the opposite directions?
If they are equal in values - nothing. Otherwise, it will move to the same direction as the direction of the greater force.
These forces push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
divergent bounders or shearing forces
Can you calculate net force when forces act in the same direction In opposite directions?
gummy worms
