Yes, because Newton 2nd law states that F=ma. When an unbalanced force acts upon a mass, there will be acceleration, the changing of speed over a period of time.

the velocity will change. the speed may not necessarily change, as for example an orbiting satellite, but velocity always changes. Velocity is a vector with both speed and direction

Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?

An unbalanced force can: change the speed an object moves at change the direction an object is moving cause an object to start/stop moving


What is an 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.


When the net force of an object is not 0 the forces on the object are what?

The forces are not in equilibrium and there is a resultant(net, unbalanced) force on the object.


What happensto the speed of an object if a unbalanced force acts on it?

Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.Then the speed will change.


An unbalanced force can cause an object to change its speed and or?

The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?

An unbalanced force


What is needed in order to cause an object at rest to move or an object you motion to change its deirection or speed?

An unbalanced force.


What is the results of an unbalanced force on an object?

The result is acceleration of the object ... its speed of motion, or direction of motion, or both, change.


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.


How does force affect speed of an object?

The relationship is given by Newton's Second Law. Briefly, a net force (an unbalanced force) will accelerate the object, that is, it will change its velocity.
