Question

why do we add the two forces together? they are unbalanced. they are going in opposite directions. theyre are equal. they are both moving in the same direction.

Explanation:

In physics, when two forces act in the same direction, their magnitudes are added to find the net - force. Unbalanced forces don't always mean they are added (if in opposite directions, they are subtracted). Forces in opposite directions are subtracted, and equal forces don't imply addition.

Answer:

They are both moving in the same direction.
