What are three ways in which the velocity of an object may change when the forces on the object are unbalanced?

doing some homework?
A net force vector/imbalance can either increase velocity (positive acceleration), decrease velocity (negative acceleration) or effect zero acceleration (perpendicular).

When no unbalanced forces act on an object the object can have no?
If forces on an object are balanced, the object will not accelerate - i.e., its velocity won't change.
Is the following sentence true 'unbalanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity'?
Yes
When an object experiences unbalanced forces what will change?
It will accelerate, so it's velocity will change (and therefore it's position).
Can Balanced forces acting on an object will cause it to change its motion?
No. To change an object's velocity, you need an unbalanced force, i.e., the sum of forces must be non-zero.
The change in an object velocity?
a change in a objects velocity is caused by a unbalanced force :)

If forces on an object are balanced, the object will not accelerate - i.e., its velocity won't change.
What indicates that an object is unbalanced?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, it will accelerate (its velocity will change). If torques are unbalanced, it will start to rotate - or more precisely, its speed of rotation will change.
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.
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.

What 2 things change when an unbalanced force is applied to an object?
When the forces on an object are unbalanced the changes that could happen are the object speeds up, or slows down. And it can changes direction.
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.
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.
How do forces acting on an object?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate or decelerate. If forces on an object are balanced, the object will stay still or keep moving with the same velocity.
