Question
What may happen to the motion of an object when a force is applied in the direction of its motion?
- Its direction of motion changes
- Its speed increases
- Its speed decreases
- None of the above
Hint:
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 speed increases
- The push or pull experienced by an object with the mass that causes the change in velocity is called force.
- The effect of an applied force can be different as it also depends on the direction of the applied force. If the force is applied in the direction of the motion, it will increase the speed of the moving body. However, if the force is applied in the direction opposite to that of motion, it will decrease the speed or may even bring the moving body to rest.
