Question

An object increases its speed as a result of the application of a force on it. In which direction was the force applied?

  1. Its direction of motion 
  2. In an opposite direction of its motion
  3. Towards its right
  4. Towards its left

hintHint:

  • The push or pull experienced by an object with the mass that causes the change in velocity is called force. 

The correct answer is: Its direction of motion


    • The push or pull experienced by an object with the mass that causes the change in velocity is called force.
    • Force applied in the direction of motion of an object increases its speed and force applied in the direction opposite to that of the motion of object decreases its speed.
