Question
What is a newton? A non-contact force. A force that changes the motion of an object. A force that pulls objects toward the ground. The unit in which force is measured.
Answers
Answer
A tennis player swings and hits the ball away. How does the force of the tennis racket affect the motion of the ball? It changes both the direction and the speed of the ball. It does not changes the speed or the direction of the ball. It changes the speed of the ball but no the direction. It changes the direction of the ball but not the speed.
Answer
A net force is applied to a moving object. Which statement best describes the effect of the force? The force will cause the speed of the object to increase. The force will cause a damage in the momentum of the object. The force will cause a change in the direction of the object. The force will cause the object to come to a stop.
Answer
What is the momentum of an object? The velocity of the object. The net force acting on the object. The rate of change in the velocity of an object. The state of motion of an object with mass.

A newton (symbol: N) is the unit in which force is measured in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
While forces can result in changes in the motion of objects (such as accelerating, decelerating, or changing direction), the term "newton" specifically refers to the measurement of that force, rather than describing the characteristics of the force itself (non-contact, gravitational, etc.).
In summary, the most accurate definition from your options is: **the unit in which force is measured.**

When a tennis player swings and hits the ball with the racket, the force exerted by the racket affects the ball in the following way: **It changes both the direction and the speed of the ball.**
When the racket contacts the ball, it applies a force that not only accelerates the ball (increases its speed) but also changes its trajectory (direction) depending on the angle and force of the racket's swing. Thus, the correct answer is that the force of the tennis racket changes both the direction and the speed of the ball.

The best statement that describes the effect of a net force applied to a moving object is: **The force will cause a change in the direction of the object.**
However, it's important to note that a net force can also cause a change in the speed of the object (either increasing or decreasing it), and it can indeed affect the momentum of the object, given that momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
In summary, while the force can lead to changes in both speed and direction, if the focus is specifically on direction, then that is a key impact of a force. If the options were to be evaluated strictly, the statement regarding direction is accurate but not comprehensive of all possible effects of a net force.

Momentum of an object is defined as **the state of motion of an object with mass.**
More precisely, momentum (p) is mathematically defined as the product of an object's mass (m) and its velocity (v), expressed as:
\[ p = m \times v \]
This means that momentum describes how much motion an object has, taking into account both its mass and its velocity. It's a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
The other options refer to different concepts:
- The velocity of the object is a measure of its speed and direction but does not include mass.
- The net force acting on the object refers to the total force that results in the object's acceleration, not its momentum.
- The rate of change in the velocity of an object relates to acceleration, not momentum itself.
So, the best choice from your options is: **The state of motion of an object with mass.**
