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 momentum of the object.**

This statement encompasses all potential effects of the net force, including changes in speed and direction, since momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Therefore, any net force will result in a change in the object's momentum, regardless of whether it increases speed, decreases speed, or alters its direction.
