according to Newton's First Law, what potential impact can an unbalanced force have on an object in motion?

1.An unbalanced force can change both the object's direction and speed

2.An unbalanced force will have no impact on an object in motion.

3.An unbalanced force can only change the object's speed.

4.An unbalanced force can only change the object's direction.

1 answer

1. An unbalanced force can change both the object's direction and speed.

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity (speed and direction) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force can change the object's velocity, which includes both its speed and direction. Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer.
