A force that acts on an object, but does not cause any movement (specifically, a change in velocity) of the object, is (by Newton's law) equally and opposite balanced by other forces.

What is a force that acts against the movement of an object?
Friction
What will increase accelaration of an object that is pushed by a force?
A net force will cause an acceleration. That is to say, if a net force acts on an object, the object's velocity will change.
How does force cause motion?
An object is stationary until a force acts on it, then when a force acts on it it will keep going the same direction and speed forever, until another force acts on it.
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
When an unbalanced force acts on an object the force?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.

What is the force that always acts opposite direction of movement and slows an object as it moves?
attrition
What force causes a moving object to slow down?
Any force that acts in a direction opposite to the movement. Quite often, this will be friction.
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
Is a push or pull that acts on an object.?
A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.
When unbalanced force acts on an object the force?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object the force?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.
When an unbalanced acts on an object the force....?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object the?
Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.
