Detailed Solution

We can say that according to newton’s second law of motion,

force = mass \times acceleration

. If an unbalanced external force operated on the body, the impact of another force would not be cancelled. Here, force is non-zero in an unbalanced force. So, there is non-zero acceleration. As a result, the body accelerates. Hence, it is obvious that if an unbalanced external force is exerted on the body, the body must accelerate. Therefore, it is false that when an unbalanced force acting on a body then it does not accelerate.
