Questions and Answers

What effect does a force have on an object?

  • It can change the state of motion or shape of the object. (correct)
  • It can only stop the motion of the object.
  • It purely increases the speed of the object.
  • It can only change the direction of the object.

    • Which of the following is NOT an example of applying force?

  • Keeping an object stationary. (correct)
  • Pulling a rope.
  • Pushing a shopping cart.
  • Hitting a baseball with a bat.

    • What can a force do to the shape of an object?

  • It can only enlarge the object.
  • It has no effect on the shape or size of the object.
  • It can change the shape but not the size.
  • It can change both the shape and size of the object. (correct)
