The best statement that describes the effect of the force is:
The force will cause a change in the momentum of the object.
This statement encompasses all possible effects of a net force on an object—whether it results in a change in speed, direction, or both. According to Newton's second law, a net force applied to an object causes an acceleration, which in turn changes the object's momentum.
