When an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, then that object will accelerate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that when a certain force is acted on an object then it is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object.

Mathematically, the relation is as follows.

F = m × a

Thus, we can conclude that when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force then the object will start to accelerate.
