Solution

The correct options are
A Stops or tries to stop a moving body
B Produces or tries to produce motion in a body at rest
D Changes or tries to change the direction of motion of the body
When force is applied in the direction of motion it increases velocity,
when applied opposite to the direction of motion it will try to reduce the velocity.
when force is applied at any angle with velocity of object, it will try to give a component in that direction where force is applied hence direction or magnitude of net velocity is changed.
When force is applied to any body, an acceleration is generated in that direction where force is applied.

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

State whether true or false.

If a body is moving with a constant speed along a straight line, then in order to change its direction of motion, an external force or its component has to act in a direction normal to the direction of motion.

Force is a push or pull that can only stop motion.

When a change is brought about in pressure, temperature or concentration of a reversible reation which has attained equilibrium, the equilibria tries to shift in such a direction which would neutralize the effect of change. This is known as
