When an unbalanced force acts on an object what does the force do?

Answer 1

It causes it to accelerate, according to the equation, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force should be thought of as the Rate of Change of Momentum of an object.

Specifically F=dP/dt.

Take the equation F= ma = mdV/dt = d(mV)/dt =dP/dt

Answer 2

Force doesn't act on an object's motion. Force acts on the object, and may influence its motion.

When any force acts on an object, and is not canceled out by an equal opposite force,

then the object experiences accelerated motion. The acceleration may show up as a

change in the object's speed, or a change of the direction in which it moves, or both.

Answer 3

Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.

Answer 4

It will accelerate in the same direction as the force
