Introduction to Forces

Question 13 • AA-F26 Physical Science

If forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object could experience a change in ________.

Answer
A
mass, speed, or direction
B
negative acceleration or mass
C
direction, mass, or both
D
speed, direction, or both

Explanation

Unbalanced forces cause a change in an object's motion, meaning it accelerates. Its speed can change, its direction can change, or both can change. Mass does not change just because a force is unbalanced, so the correct choice is “speed, direction, or both.”
