Physics

The correct statement is: The net force of two forces acting in opposite directions may be less than either of the individual forces.

When two forces act in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between the magnitudes of the two forces. For example, if one force is 5 N to the right and another force is 3 N to the left, the net force is 2 N to the right, which is less than the 5 N force.

Option A

This statement is false.

If two forces are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act along the same line, they cancel each other out entirely resulting in a net force of zero.<...
