A net force is applied to a moving object. Which statement best describes the effect of the force? (1 point)

Question

O The force will cause the speed of the object to increase.
O The force will cause the object to come to a stop.
O The force will cause a change in the direction of the object.
O The force will cause a change in the momum of the object.

Answer 1

The best statement to describe the effect of the 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 any net force acting on an object will result in a change in its velocity (and thus momentum) according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). The other options may be true in specific scenarios but are not universally applicable as is the case with momentum.

u sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The most accurate statement in general terms is that the net force acting on a moving object will cause a change in the momentum of the object.

This is derived from Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force (F) applied to an object equals the rate of change of momentum (p) with respect to time (t):

\[ F = \frac{dp}{dt} \]

Since momentum (p) is the product of mass (m) and velocity (v), any force applied will lead to a change in either the speed (magnitude of velocity) or direction (vector nature of velocity) of the object, resulting in a change in momentum.

While a net force can indeed increase speed, stop the object, or change its direction depending on the context, the most inclusive and fundamentally correct answer regarding the effects of a force is that it causes a change in momentum.

Answer 4

what is the answer

Answer 5

The best answer to the question "A net force is applied to a moving object. Which statement best describes the effect of the force?" is:

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

This answer encompasses the effects of the force on both speed and direction, since any change in speed or direction results in a change in momentum.
