How a stationary object will remain stationary

1) If the resultant force on a stationary object is zero, the object will remain stationary.

What happens to a moving object with no resultant

1) if there's no resultant force on a moving object it will just carry on moving at the same velocity.

What happens when there is a resultant force

1) If the resultant force is not zero then the object will accelerate in the direction of the force.

The formula for acceleration

F = ma
Or
A = F/M
acceleration is measured in m/s squared
