To find the direction and acceleration of an object when two forces are acting on it, you'll need to consider the vector sum of the forces and use Newton's second law of motion.

So, in summary, find the resultant force by summing the individual forces as vectors, calculate the acceleration using Newton's second law, and note that the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the resultant force.
