Solution

The correct option is C
Changing both magnitude and direction.

Let us consider an example of throwing a stone. Magnitude of force applied in throwing the stone decides how far the stone will go but the direction depends on the direction of force. If any of the magnitude or direction of force is changed, the stone will go to different location.

Observation 1: Try to stop a ball coming towards you,so as to save a boundary, by applying a force of some magnitude in the opposite direction of the motion of ball.

Observation 2: In this case apply the force of same magnitude but in same direction of the motion of the ball.

In observation 1 boy saves a boundary by applying a force opposite to the direction of motion but in observation 2, the change in direction of force cost the team 4 runs as the change in direction of force pushed the ball further to the boundary.

So, the change in effect of a force can be experienced by a change in it's direction as well as magnitude. The above statement is :-

So, the change in the effect of a force can be experienced by a change in its direction as well as magnitude. The above statement is:-

Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction of velocity or both.

Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in the magnitude of the velocity.

Force has both magnitude and direction.

In the above three figures, the arrows indicate the direction of force and magnitude of force is mentioned near the arrows.
