When a force is applied to do work on an object does the object always accelerate explain why or why not?

No. The meaning of work is the measure of change a forces produces. A physicist would say that if you pushed on a concrete wall, no work would be done. Just because you exert a force doesn't mean any work is accomplished

When does the object of the forces does not move?
If no force is applied to an object, the object will not accelerate - its velocity won't change.
How do you accelerate an object in a vacuum?
Apply a force (rockets, recoil, gravity, etc.)
What happens when a unbalanced force is applied to moving object?
The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.
If equal forces are applied to a light and a heavy object which one will accelerate more?
the light one
A force is continuously applied to an object causing it to accelerate but after a period of time the object stops accelerating. What conclusions can be drawn?
There are a few possibilities that would explain the observations. One is that the force was no longer being applied. No more force, no more acceleration. Another is that the applied force, which caused the object to accelerate in the first place, is no longer able to increase the velocity of the object because of disproportionately increasing friction. We encounter this frequently in the real world where friction at "2v" (double the velocity) is multiples of times what it was when "v" was the velocity. There is also the possibility that something is being accelerated to relativistic velocities, and in this case, we encounter an "implication" of relativity because of the physics. At velocities in the ball park of the speed of light, a continuous application (of the same amount) of force will be insufficient to continue to accelerate the object.
How is the rate of motion of an object affected by an increase in force applied?
An increase in applied force will cause the object to accelerate.
When does the object of the forces does not move?
If no force is applied to an object, the object will not accelerate - its velocity won't change.
An object will accelerate in the direction of the?
An object accelerates in the direction of the net applied force, which is the vector sum of all applied forces.
How do you accelerate an object in a vacuum?
Apply a force (rockets, recoil, gravity, etc.)
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
What happens when a unbalanced force is applied to moving object?
The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.
What will an object always do when acted on by an unbalanced force?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But when the entire group of forceson an object is unbalanced, then the object must accelerate.
If equal forces are applied to a light and a heavy object which one will accelerate more?
the light one
Which object will accelerate more if the same force is applied to both a pickup truck or a trctor-trailer truck?
Whichever is lighter will accelerate more quickly.
What happens when the longer a force acts on moving object?
If a force is being applied to a moving object, it will change its velocity (it will accelerate) appropriately.
How the forces affects the object at rest?
An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.
