If a net force acts on an object, from Newton's second law, it experiences an acceleration in the direction of the net force.

Explanation:

The Newton's second law gives,

vecF = Mveca where, vecF is the force and veca is the acceleration.

Acceleration alters the velocity of an object. It might alter the speed or the direction of motion or both depending on the physical conditions.
