Final answer:

A net force on an object that is not gaining or losing mass will cause a change in velocity and acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

A net force on an object that is not gaining or losing mass will cause a change in velocity. A change in velocity means that there is acceleration. Newton's first law states that a net external force causes a change in motion, so a net force will cause a change in velocity and therefore acceleration.
