8th grade THE NATURE OF FORCE FORCE  The ability of push or pull. The push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity. EFFECTS OF FORCE 1. Force can put a stationary body in motion. EFFECTS OF FORCE 2. Force can change the direction of a moving object. EFFECTS OF FORCE 3. Force can stop a moving body.  FORCES INVOLVE DIRECTIONS  SAME DIRECTION When two forces act in the same direction, they are added together  SAME DIRECTION When two forces act in the same direction, they are added together  OPPOSITE DIRECTION When two forces act in the opposite direction, they are subtracted together  OPPOSITE DIRECTION When two forces act in the opposite direction, they are subtracted together
