An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
<h3>
What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>
It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

- An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
- The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.
- When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.
Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Answer:
See below explanation
Explanation:
The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:
CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)
Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :
MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol
MM CuO = 79 g/mol
MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.
So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)
