Question

The force exerted on an object can change the objects?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We think of force as a push or pull exerted on some object. ... A force exerted on an object can change the object's velocity. Force also causes moving objects to stop or change its direction. All of these changes involves a change in velocity - acceleration.

Answer 2

The force exerted on an object can change the object's state.

Explanation:

• Force is defined as any external push or pull exerted on a body.

There are three laws of newton that characterize and define properties of force:

Newton's first law of motion:

• "Any body stays in rest and tends to stay in uniform motion unless and until an external force is applied on it."

• This statement says that any force can change the state of an object. If it is in rest, after exerting force the object can be in motion and if it is in motion. the object can accelerate or come to rest depending on the type of force.

Newton's second law:

• "Force depends on the mass and acceleration of the body." Acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity of the body with respect to time.

• This statement quantifies force and gives an expression to calculate the exerted force.

Newton's third law:

• "For every action of force on a body, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

• This statement talks about direction of force and it also states that force comes in action-reaction pair.

Summing up all the characteristics of force, it can be said that after any force is applied on a body, the state of the body changes.
