An unbalanced force can only do one thing: accelerate a mass. This may mean making it change direction, speed up or slow down, begin or stop spinning, cause it to deform or change shape, and many other actions.
-- The speed can increase. -- The speed can decrease. -- The path can bend from a straight line. Each of these is an example of 'acceleration'.
There are more than three possible changes. Some of them are:The object is crushed.The object is stretched.The object undergoes a shear distortion.Nothing happens: the object is more resistant than the forces acting on it.
balanced force, unbalanced force, and net force
doing some homework? A net force vector/imbalance can either increase velocity (positive acceleration), decrease velocity (negative acceleration) or effect zero acceleration (perpendicular).
Sure, as long as the sum of the forces is zero.

When two forces acting on an object are not equal in size, we say that they are unbalanced forces. a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force. ... a moving object changes speed and/or direction in the direction of the resultant force.

The three forces that causes an object to change its motion are the gravitational force, the normal force and the frictional force.
