Question

Explain what happens when two forces are exerted in the opposite direction

Answer 1

strain is the common answer for a body

Answer 2

If the effects of the forces do not cancel each other, or if one force is stronger than the other, the forces are unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion, speed, and/or direction. When two forces act in the same direction on an object, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces.
