It means that the vector sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero - if there is more than one force, the vectors don't cancel each other completely. In this case, there will be an acceleration.
When a nonzero net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object, as described by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).
The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".
its velocity will change by accelerating in the direction of the force
The sum of all the forces acting on an object is called the net force, not bank force. The net force determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law, F = ma. If the net force is zero, the object will remain at constant velocity or at rest.
Since Fnet = ma... and when Fnet > 0then substituting for Fnet with ma you get: ma > 0assuming a non-zero mass, then a > 0.

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).
Unbalanced forces are forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object.

An unbalanced force is when there is a net force acting on an object that is not canceled out by another force, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force. This can lead to changes in the object's speed and/or direction of motion.
If a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the object's velocity, the object's velocity will increase over time. This is because the force accelerates the object in the same direction as its motion, causing it to speed up.
The answer to your question is Work. The definition of work is: "When a force acts against resistance to produce motion in a body, the force is said to do work." - The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics... Which means the exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force.
Yes. Consider an object with no torques acting on it (therefore the sum of the torques is obviously zero) but with a force directed through its center of mass. How about a freely spinning wheel on a shaft? Would have to be in a vacuum. Ok wait, the answer is yes. Consider a horizontal beam attached at one end that is 6 ft long. If a force (x) is applied at the end of it in the downward direction and another force is applied that is twice as powerful (2x) in the upward direction 3 ft from the attached end the net torque is zero but the net force is x in the upward direction.
