Question

How can force affect the motion of an object?

Answer 1

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.
