The correct statement that is always true when multiple forces are acting on an object is:
The acceleration will be directed in the direction of the net force.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
