"The force will cause a change in the momentum of the object."

Explanation: By Newton's second law F = dp/dt, a net force produces acceleration (a change in velocity), so the object's momentum (p = mv) changes. Whether the speed increases, decreases, or only the direction changes depends on the force's direction relative to the motion.
