i. The shape of the body changes, for example, the length of an elastic band changes if it is pulled.

ii. The speed of the body changes, for example, if the accelerator is applied to a vehicle, its speed increases and if brakes are applied, its speed decreases.

iii. The direction of motion changes, for example, a feather changes direction with the wind when it is falling down.
