According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object determines its acceleration. The direction of the net force is the same as the direction of the acceleration. If an object is initially at rest, it will start moving in the direction of the net force. If the object is already in motion, its velocity will change (either speed up, slow down, or change direction) in the direction of the net force.
