Question

What changes can a force bring in an object, when applied to it? Do force always brings a change in the state of motion of an object?

Answer 1

A force

- may bring an object from rest to motion or from motion to rest.

- may change the speed of an object.

- may change the direction of motion of an object.

- may bring about a change in the shape of an object.


No, it's not necessary that a force will always bring change in the state of motion. There will not be any change in the state of motion of an object if the applied forces are balanced.
