* Newton's First Law of Motion (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force.
* Newton's Second Law of Motion: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (F = ma)
Explanation:
* Unbalanced Force: An unbalanced force means there's a net force acting on the object. This force will cause the object to accelerate.
* Acceleration: Acceleration is a change in velocity. This change could be an increase in speed, a decrease in speed, or a change in direction.
Therefore, if an unbalanced force acts on an object, the object will accelerate, and its velocity will not remain constant.
