He's talking about how historical events get dramatised. The "lofty scene", the historical event they are witnessing, will be "acted over", portrayed as part of a play "many ages hence", or a long time from now. The play will be performed in a country that didn't exist when the historical events took place, and in a language that didn't exist either.
The irony is that the line itself comes as part of a play portraying the historical event many ages after it happened, and performed in a country and a language that did not exist when the events took place.
There is an even deeper irony if you see this line delivered in a performance in the USA, a state unborn when Shakespeare wrote this line and in an accent (although not in a language) unknown to him.

How is motion of an object affected when acted on by a force?
the equations of motion are v=u+at where u and v are the initial and final velocity a is the acceleration and t is the time taken but a=f/m where f is the force given and m is the mass of the body so the value for force changes when a force is applied or withdrawn therefore the net value of the motion is altered and hence affects the motion of the object A2. The object's acceleration is changed when acted on by a force.
