True or False: An object can only have four forces acting on it at a time. Explain your reasoning.

That's an untrue statement.

The rope in a tug-o-war may have two or three HUNDRED forces on it, all at the same time.

False because there are many more forces that can act on one thing at one time or can have less than four at one time. This is just a law of physics.
