There can be forces acting on an object while it is at rest, as long as the forces cancel each out. For example: a block laying on a table feels the force of gravity pulling it down, but the table pushes up with the same force. Therefore, the forces cancel and the object remains at rest.

What will happen to an object that has unbalanced force acting on it?
If an object has an unbalanced force acting on it, it will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The object will experience a change in velocity and will continue to accelerate as long as the force remains unbalanced.
How long does the contact force on an object work for?
it can stay on forever but the two objects have to be together
What are the forces acting on an object without acceleration?
The net force that is acting on an object that is not changing speed is centripetal force that is pulling the object into a circular path. However, just to be clear on this point, while the object's "speed" is not changing, it's "velocity" certainly is, because velocity, unlike speed, has a directional component to it.
What kind of force acts on an object and causes a change in motion?
The force that acts on an object and causes a change in its motion is called unbalanced force. When the forces acting on an object are not in equilibrium, causing a net force in a particular direction, it can result in the object accelerating or decelerating.
Can an object be moveing and still be in equilibrium?
No, an object cannot be in equilibrium if it is moving. Equilibrium is a state where the net forces acting on an object are balanced and there is no acceleration. If an object is moving, there must be an unbalanced force acting on it causing its motion.
What will happen to an object that has unbalanced force acting on it?
If an object has an unbalanced force acting on it, it will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The object will experience a change in velocity and will continue to accelerate as long as the force remains unbalanced.
An object will accelerate when?
An object will continue accelerating as long as there is a force acting on it. (Newton's Second Law)
What happen when you apply a force on an object in space?
It accelerates as long as the force is applied, and after that it continues at a uniform speed and direction.
How long does the contact force on an object work for?
it can stay on forever but the two objects have to be together
If an object starts to accelerate?
If an object moved with constant acceleration it's velocity must ?

No, an object cannot be in equilibrium if it is moving. Equilibrium is a state where the net forces acting on an object are balanced and there is no acceleration. If an object is moving, there must be an unbalanced force acting on it causing its motion.
impluse is the product of average applied on the object and how long the force act on the object?
No, impulse is not the product of average applied force and the duration of the force. Impulse is the integral of the force with respect to time.
What kind of force causes and object to change its motion?
A net force acting on the object causes it to change its motion. This force can be a result of pushing, pulling, gravity, friction, or other interactions with the object's environment. The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force applied to it.
Will all forces cause an object to accelerate?
No, not all forces will cause an object to accelerate. For an object to accelerate, the net force acting on the object must be non-zero. If the net force is zero, the object will either stay at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
If an object is not moving can there still be a force acting on it?
According to Law of Inertia, an object will remain in its state of motion, either at rest or moving until an external unbalanced force acts on it. So if the object is at rest, some external force (F) has to be applied in order to move that object. Law of Inertia is actually a second law, out of three Newton's laws of motion.
