Let's write a paragraph for the question:

Is the direction of net force always in the direction of motion?

Net force can be said to be the vector sum of all the forces which acts on an object.

The net force is not always in the direction of motion but it is in the direction the object is accelerating.

According the law of motion the motion can be in any direction and not neccessarily in the direction of net force.

The direction of net force will be in the direction of motion only when the object is moving in a straight line.

Therefore, the direction of net force is not always in the direction of motion.

ANSWER:

No, the direction of net force is not always in the direction of motion because but it is always in the direction the object is accelerating.
