Yes, an unbalanced force can change an object's motion by causing it to accelerate or decelerate in the direction of the force. It can also change the object's direction or speed depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
Force can change the speed, direction, or shape of an object's motion. For example, a force applied in the direction of motion can increase the speed of a moving car. A force applied perpendicularly to the motion can change the direction of the car without changing its speed. Finally, a force applied to deformable objects, like squishing a ball, can change their shape.
A force.
If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).
Forces can change the way the body is moving. Speed it up, slow it down, change its direction.. it depends if the body is in equilibrium or not and what forces are already in play
Any part of a force that does not act in the direction of an object's motion does not contribute to the object's speed or change its velocity. This component of force perpendicular to the direction of motion only affects the object's direction or causes it to change its path.
Force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its speed, direction, or shape. It can accelerate or decelerate an object, change its position, or even deform it depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, a force must be applied in the opposite direction of its motion to slow it down and a force must be applied in the desired direction of its new path to change its direction. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine how much the speed or direction changes.
F=ma, according to Newton's laws, so some more force will accelerate the object (that is, change its velocity in the direction of the force) at a rate of F/m. Speed is just how fast the object is going, while velocity is a combination of speed and direction. If the force is applied in a direction opposite the velocity, the speed will decrease. If the force is applied in the same direction, it will increase.
Unbalanced forces cause objects to accelerate or change their speed or direction of motion. They do not cancel each other out, resulting in a net force in a specific direction. This can lead to a change in an object's velocity.
