In theory, no but in real life, there is always some object whose gravitational force acts on the object. Even if you were in the vacuum of outer space, quantum fluctuations would result in pair of matter and anti-matter appearing and disappearing. But during their fleeting existence they would result in tiny, tiny, tiny gravitational forces acting on you.

In newtons third law the action and reaction forces?

The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.


What will happen if forces that act on an object are not balanced?

Then the objects will move in the direction of the resultant force.


Do action and reaction forces acting in opposite directions cancel out because they act on different objects?

In order to cancel out, they must act on the same object.


If all forces are equal and opposite how does anything accelerate?

Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite. By Newton's Third Law, if object A attracts object B, then object B also attracts object A - with an equal but opposite force. But those forces act on DIFFERENT objects! The forces on object A, and on object B, may be unbalanced!Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite.

Do objects in motion always change position and may change direction?

Objects in motion continuously change position.To change direction, a force needs to act upon them.
