no. a force acting perpendicularly on a body cannot cancel a force which is acting horizontally on the same body.!!!!

Can a force acting perpendicularly on a body cancel which is acting horizontally on the same?
That is difficult to answer in that a horizontal force may be perpendicular to the body. So, the question does not differentiate between "can a vertical force cancel a horizontal force?" and "can a horizontal force cancel a horizontal force?" The best answer is, yes: two opposite and equal horizontal forces, both perpendicular to a body, will cancel each other.
Does increasing current on a wire increase the magnetic force acting on it?
Only if the wire is running perpendicular to a magnetic field.
What is the magnitude of the resultant force in Newtons acting on an object that has 2 forces acting in same direction having magnitudes of 15 N and 25 N and a 3rd force acting perpendicular at 30 N?
Add forces 1 and 2 = 40N Magnitude of resultant = root[402+302] = 50N [Also, this is at an angle of 36.9 degrees to the 30N force]
Are acting on the pen?
The Forces acting on the pen are first the downward force called gravitational force and the upward force is the tension force.
Is there a net force acting on the freezer If so describe which forces interact and how they interact to produce the net force?
A net force is the result of all the forces acting on an object. If the freezer is at rest, it has no net force. The forces that would be acting on it would be gravity, and the normal (or perpendicular) force of the ground it's on (both would be the same as long as it's in equilibrium). You could also involve static friction as a force, which keeps it from moving sideways, if there were any parallel force acting on it (a force of gravity measured on the same angle of the plane it's on). So, if your freezer is on a slanted surface, those two forces would also be applicable. In conclusion, if your freezer is moving, there is a net force greater than 0. If the net force is zero, it is in equilibrium. I hope you got this in time, - Fellow physics student

What are structures acting on forces?
Gravity is a force acting down on it. A normal force is acting perpendicular to the ground at the base of the structure.
What are the forces acting on structures?
Gravity is a force acting down on it. A normal force is acting perpendicular to the ground at the base of the structure.
What is the force acting perpendicular to a certain serface area?
Normal Force
What is force of lift and thrust?
Lift is the force that acts upwards, perpendicular to the chord of the wing. Thrust is the force acting perpendicular to the propeller disc.
What forces are acting on you acting on you when you slide down a waterslide?
The downward force of gravity, and the normal force perpendicular to the slide.
What is the difference between perpendicular force and resultant force?
Perpendicular force means they act at right angles to each other, while the resultant is the summation of all the forces acting. The determination of the resultant force often needs vector calculus .
Does increasing current on a wire increase the magnetic force acting on it?
Only if the wire is running perpendicular to a magnetic field.
How tension in string is nonconservative force?
No, the force in tension of a string is not conservative. The only non-conservative force acting is the tension force, but it acts perpendicular to the path of the object at every instant, and so it does zero work.
What is the magnitude of the resultant force in Newtons acting on an object that has 2 forces acting in same direction having magnitudes of 15 N and 25 N and a 3rd force acting perpendicular at 30 N?
Add forces 1 and 2 = 40N Magnitude of resultant = root[402+302] = 50N [Also, this is at an angle of 36.9 degrees to the 30N force]
How can you find the moments about any point?
Multiply each force acting on the object by its perpendicular distance from the point. Add all these together, making sure that the ones acting in a clockwise direction have the opposite sign to those acting in the counter-clockwise direction.
If an object is moving at a constant speed what do we know about the forces acting on the object?
Not much, really. If the object's direction is changing, then the velocity changes, and there are forces acting on it. The only thing we can say is that the net force acting on the object is either zero, or it is perpendicular to the movement.If the VELOCITY doesn't change, then the net force (the sum of the forces) is zero.
