Not always, the unbalanced force only points in the direction of the acceleration so a body may be moving in the opposite direction.

Example.

A car moves with some speed to the right on a horizontal surface and lock the brakes, if the surface has friction, but the net force acting on it is equal to the frictional force pointing left and produces a Deceleration of carriage until stop, but while this happens continuously in motion to the right.

They accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force. If they were already moving, there will be an increasing velocity component in the direction of the unbalanced force.

No. It will ACCELERATE in that direction, which is not the same as MOVING in that direction. As an example, an object moving at constant speed in a circle, will accelerate towards the center.

Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?

Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.


In what direction is the force of friction exerted?

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion


When a force is exerted on an object does a large force always produce greater change in the object's momentum than a smaller force does explain?

No this causes an unbalanced force or a balanced forceNO chizz you rape the poor person!


How are balance forces and unbalanced forces different?

When the forces are balanced, there is no acceleration (Ex: Anything stationary or anything with uniform motion). Unbalanced forces ALWAYS cause acceleration.


Why is friction called perverse force?

because it always opposes the direction of the applied force.


What will an object always do when acted on by an 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.


What is a sentence using the word unbalanced?

He was always a bit strange and many said he was unbalanced. There was no way it would stand for long as looking at it you could clearly see that it was unbalanced.


Can forces change an objects direction?

If I am reading your question correctly, you want to now if balanced forces can change the direction an object is traveling. The answer is no. Balanced forces always produce no net change, hence the term "balanced". You need an unbalanced force to change the direction of an object, or to set an object in motion from a standstill.


How the unbalanced force affects the object at rest?

An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.


What always happens to the motion of an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".When the group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, then the objectaccelerates, in the direction of the vector sum of the forces.


Balance force can change an object's direction?

false


What do unbalanced forces always cause in motion?

more motion :O
