Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.
It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".
Answer:

Explanation:
M = Mass of each star
T = Time period = 15.5 days
v = Orbital velocity = 230 km/s
G = Gravitational constant = 
Radius of orbit is given by

We have the relation

The mass of each star is 
there will no resultant force
Explanation:
this is because if the forces are balanced on opposite direction. then they cancel each other out
5 newton's ---------> <--------- 5 newton's
then both forces will cancel each other out as a result there is no resultant force and the newton's laws states that if there is no resultant the object will continue in its state of rest (remains there) or it will in continue in its uniform motion in a straight line.
I hope you understand,
The average acceleration can be found by dividing the final speed by the time taken to reach said point so in this case you divide 60 by 8 resulting in 7.5 which will be your answer
