accelerate in the direction of the net force.
Either balanced or unbalanced force!
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But when the entire group of forceson an object is unbalanced, then the object must accelerate.
as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
The object will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed, following Newton's first law of motion. This is known as inertia, where an object will maintain its state of motion unless acted on by an external force.
An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.
as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
An object that continues to move when an unbalanced force is removed is a moving object experiencing inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, so when the unbalanced force is removed, the object will continue moving in the same direction at a constant velocity until acted upon by another force.
A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.
Unbalanced forces cause acceleration, not movement. An object can move at a constant speed with no net force acting on it. An example would be an object falling at terminal velocity.It would have to have been already moving. Newton's First law states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and direction unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second part of the law explains this.
An unbalanced force acting on an object causes a change in its motion by accelerating it in the direction of the force. This acceleration results in the object moving. The greater the unbalanced force, the greater the acceleration and speed of the object.
