Does newtons second law state that if an unbalanced force acts on an object it will move at constant velocity?

It can accelerate or decelerate, depending on the direction of force

no such thing as an unbalanced force.

What does newtons first law of motion state about objects at rest and objects in motion?
An object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by an external force. This applies to zero motion also.
How does Newtons second law measure force?
Unbalanced force=mass of object x acceleration of object
How does unbalanced force help move an object?
when an unbalanced force is accompanied by a balanced force it moves like one of newtons laws an object stays at rest in till an unbalanced force accompanies it
Which of newtons law states that the velocity or speed of an object does not change unlewhich of newtons law states that the velocity or speed of an object does not change unless a force interferes?
That is Newton's First Law.
What does Newtons 1st law of motion state about objects on which forces are balanced?
Newton's first law says "Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force." This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.Newton's first law for moving objects with balanced force is that the object "behaves" like it has no force acting on it. Because the object has balanced force, the object has a net force of zero, and according to Newton's first law, an object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. The object is therefore in uniform motion (aka moving at constant velocity).
How does an unbalanced force affect a moving object at a constant velocity?
If the group of forces on an object is unbalanced, then the object can't have constant velocity. Its speed or the direction of its motion must change.
Does unbalanced forces maintain motion at constant velocity?
No. If the forces on an object are unbalanced, that means their sum is not zero, and there is a net force on the object. Since there is a net force on it, the object is accelerated, which is another way of saying that its velocity changes.
What are objects remain at constant velocity unless an unless an unbalanced force acts?
An object in motion.
What happens to the velocity of an object when balanced force act on it?
The velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force.
What will happen to an object moving at constant velocity?
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
What is a force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction?
A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.
What law that states that every object maintain constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force?
Newton's 1st law'
Is an object in motion if the acceleration is zero?
Acceleration just means that something is getting faster at a constant pace. If the object was at rest it would have a constant velocity. If the object was then acted upon by and unbalanced force, the velocity would change and no longer be constant. However if an object is just moving along (balanced force of air resistance, gravity, and friction) then it would be at a constant velocity, also. In motion or at rest and object can have zero acceration.
Why there must be an unbalanced force acting if an object is moving in a circle at constant speed?
If an unbalanced force was not acting upon it, it wouldn't be moving in a circle.An object with no unbalanced force will either not be moving, or be moving in a straight line due to Isaac Newtons 1st law of motion.
What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it?
There will by no change in the mass, which is constant, but the unbalanced force will cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration can be in a positive direction or a negative direction ("deceleration"), or it can be circular, in which the acceleration changes constantly, even if the velocity remains constant.
