Effect of Force

→A ball on the ground , when given a small hit, does not move forever. Such observations suggest that rest is the “natural state”.

→In our everyday life we have required to put a stationary object into motion or to stop a moving object.

→Force changes the direction of motion. If you kick a ball to the left, you are applying force that changes its original path.

→Pushing, hitting and pulling of objects are all ways of bringing objects in motion. They move because we make a force act on them.

→Force can be used to change the magnitude of velocity of an object ( that is, to make the object move faster or slower) or to change its direction of motion.
