If unbalanced forces act on an object, the motion of that object will change. Remember, force equals mass times acceleration.

A force can be a push or a pull that if unbalanced can cause a change in an object's motion?

Correct. true


What is true of an unbalanced force?

An unbalanced force means that the vector sum of all forces acting on an object is NOT zero. Such an unbalanced force will result in an acceleration.


Balance forces do not cause a change of motion in an object?

If a system is under balanced system of forces its true that it would not have any translation motion but the body can still rotate since torque can still be unbalanced even if the net force add up to zero.


When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced the net force is zero true or false?

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body.


Is the following sentence true 'unbalanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity'?

Yes


Is it true that Newton's second law of motion explains how an unbalanced force on an object causes it to accelerate?

Yes


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.


Is it true that if at any time the forces are unbalanced an object will remain at rest?

No it is not. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest (or in a constant straight line motion) unless acted upon by an outside unbalaced force. So the object would move if an unbalaced force acted on it.


Is it true Newton's First Law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and a object in motion stays in motion with a force that is equal to its propelling force?

there are no forces involved


What must be true about the forces acting on an object if the motion of the object does not changes?

The forces must be balanced; the forces must be equal in size and opposite in direction. (Net force must equal zero).


Will balanced forces on ab object change its motion?

No, they do not. Unblanced forces do.


Is it true that an unbalanced force will not change and objects motion?

yes every unbalanced force can change or "try to change (can be or cannot be)" the state of rest or motion
