Can forces make an object move faster or slower or change its direction?

Yes, forces do all of these things. A force changes the velocity of an object, and is the only thing that can change the velocity of an object.

if the forces acting on an object are balanced the object may change speed change direction or do both true or false?
If the forces acting on an object are balanced, then the object will do none of those things. The statement is false.
What Describes forces that are equal but opposite in direction when they act on an object they cancel each other out and no change occurs in the object's motion?
Equilibrium
How do unbalanced forces affect motion?
-- 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.
What are the four things that forces can cause objects to do?
speed up.slow down.change shape.change direction.
Examples of when a force causes an object to stop moving?
Take a ball and push it an angle yo direction of motion.what do you observe? Answer-change the angle of your hand with respect to the direction of motion of the ball.Does yoo effort result in change in direction of motion of ball?
Can forces make an object move faster slower or change direction?
Forces are the only thing that can do that.
Can forces change an object motiin?
Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
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.
Is it true or false that balanced forces can change an object's direction?
It is false. Change of direction is acceleration, which can only be produced by unbalanced forces.
Forces can change the what of movement of an object?
speed or direction or both
Balance force can change an object's direction?
false
What are the different effects of forces on object?
force can change the shape and size of an object force can change the direction of an moving object force can make a stationary object move and make a moving object move faster force can slow down or completely stop a moving object
What does newtons first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?
The object will maintain its speed and direction or the object will not change its speed or direction.
What are the 3 things forces can do when acting on an object?
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
Can forces acting on an object change speed direction or both?
Both.
What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the same direction as the movement?
The object will move faster
When an object is acted on by unbalanced forces, the object will?
Move (or change direction/speed if it was already moving).
