Answer to Question 1

An unbalanced, or nonzero, net force always produces an acceleration. In some instances, an applied unbalanced force may also deform an object, that is, change its size and /or shape. A deformation involves a change in motion for some part of an object; hence, there is an acceleration.

Answer to Question 2

In a conservative system, the sum of all types of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant and equals the total mechanical energy of the system.
