When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.
-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it
Knowing the net for will tell you various things, including the direction, speed, and acceleration.
If an object has a net force on it (meaning one or more forces on an object do not cancel) then the object will accelerate according to Newton's Second Law of Motion, F=ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is its resultant acceleration.
Unbalanced forces are also known as "net forces" and are expressed as a vector of the total forces acting on the object. This will be directly proportional to the acceleration of the object (the other factor being mass).
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then their net effect on the object is the same as if there were no force on it at all. Under those circumstances, its acceleration is zero, meaning that its speed and direction of motion do not change.
-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it
Newton's second law of motion covers this.The net force on an object accelerates the object.
The "net force" is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. "Balanced forces" means that the net force is zero. "Unbalanced forces" means that the net force is non-zero. Note that unbalanced forces on an object will cause an acceleration - the object's velocity will change.
Knowing the net for will tell you various things, including the direction, speed, and acceleration.
There are truly thousands of forces acting upon one object at any one time, every object in the universe in some way will affect it. The main forces would gravity and friction and air resistance and thrust depending on the situation.
Unbalanced forces are forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object.

-- An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. -- If an object is not moving, then the group of forces on it must be balanced, else it would be accelerated.
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
