Question

Force is a physical cause that changes or tries to change the state of rest or motion of an object.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

No object changes its state of rest or motion on its own. An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues to move with the same speed and direction unless an external non-zero force acts on it. For example, a ball comes to rest because of the frictional force which opposes the motion. If there is no friction, the body will continue to move with the same speed and direction.
