Question

A force can:
1. Increase the speed of a moving body.
2. Change the shape of an object.
3. Decrease the speed of a moving body.
4. Bring a moving body to rest.

• A. 1 and 2 only
• B. 2 and 3 only
• C. 2, 3 and 4 only
• D. 1, 2, 3 and 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2, 3 and 4

If the force is applied in the direction of the motion of a body, it will increase the speed of that body.
If the force is applied in the direction opposite to that of motion, it will decrease the speed and eventually, bring the moving body to rest.
A force can also change the shape of an object.
