Forces can be added together only if they are?
A
acting on the same object
B
unaffected by gravity
C
balanced forces
D
substantial
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Forces can be added together only if they are acting on the same object. In physical science, a push or pull is called a . In physical science, a push or pull is called a force. What happens when two forces act in the same direction?

Detailed explanation-2: -When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. When forces act in opposite directions, they are combined by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force. The direction of the resulting force (resultant) is the direction of the larger original force.

Detailed explanation-3: -When all the forces acting on an object are added together, you determine the net force on the object. An object with a net force more than 0 N on it will change its state of motion. When forces are applied in the same direction, they are added to determine the size of the net force.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the forces acting on an object have equal strength and act in opposite directions, they are balanced. These forces cancel out one another, and the motion of the object they are acting on remains unchanged.

Detailed explanation-5: -The combination or the resultant of all the forces acting on an object is called Net Force, which is basically the sum of all the forces acting on that object.
