Question 17 • *KCPS Physics First (2027)

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

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

Explanation

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, which means its velocity changes. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so either or both can change. Mass does not change just because forces are unbalanced, making “speed, direction, or both” the correct choice.
