The best statement that describes the effect of the net force applied to a moving object is:
- **The force will cause a change in the momentum of the object.**
This is because momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and a net force acting on the object will result in a change in either its speed or direction (or both), affecting its momentum according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma, where F is the net force and a is acceleration).
