According to Newton, it accelerates (Force = mass x acceleration). But beware, the force is the net (total) force, not just what you apply. For example when you hold a heavy object you are supplying a considerable force. But gravity is pulling in the opposite direction so the total force is zero. Similarly, if you try to slide a heavy object along a road, if you cannot overcome the limiting frictional force, nothing will happen.

What has to act on an object for it to stay in motion?
An external force must act on an object for it to remain in motion. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
What is Any part of force that does not act in the direction of an objects motion does not?
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.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
An unbalanced force in the direction opposite to the object's motion will cause the object to slow down or come to a stop, depending on the magnitude of the force. Essentially, it will act as a decelerating force on the object.
What does a force always act on?
A force always acts on an object to cause a change in its motion or position.
What causes centripetal force to act on an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force acts on an object in circular motion because of the object's inertia, which makes it want to continue moving in a straight line. The force pulls the object towards the center of the circle, keeping it in its circular path.

An unbalanced force in the direction opposite to the object's motion will cause the object to slow down or come to a stop, depending on the magnitude of the force. Essentially, it will act as a decelerating force on the object.
What kinds of forces can act on an object?
Normal force can act on an object
Will acceleration of an object affect the force?
Remember Newton's First Law - Unless acted on by a force, bodies at rest will stay at rest and bodies in motion will stay in motion. To be able to observe acceleration, first a force has to act on the object. So, the question should be reversed - "Will the force on an object affect the acceleration?" Answer - YES. How will it be affected? Refer to Newton's Second Law for that.
Why is an unbalanced force needed to create motion?
An unbalanced force can push or pull the object. (or act on it)
What does a force always act on?
A force always acts on an object to cause a change in its motion or position.
Is it possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without the object's speed changing?
Yes, it is possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without changing its speed. This can happen if the force is acting perpendicular to the direction of motion, resulting in a change in direction but not speed (as in circular motion).
A force is needed to change the motion of an object?
Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.
What is needed in order to cause an object at rest to or an object in motion to change its direction or speed?
An outside force to act on it
What causes centripetal force to act on an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force acts on an object in circular motion because of the object's inertia, which makes it want to continue moving in a straight line. The force pulls the object towards the center of the circle, keeping it in its circular path.
Force pairs act on what object?
Force pairs act on an object when that object exerts a force on another object and, in response, experiences an equal and opposite force from the other object. This is based on Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
