How do different type of forces affect object?

Answer 1

According to my science class, force affects an object in several ways. But to understand the force effects, you must first know about the concept of Inertia. Inertia is basically the tendency for an object to maintain it's current state of motion. Also known as Newton's First Law - An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force. Think of a baseball flying through space. That baseball keep on traveling forever in the same direction unless it encounters a force such as gravity or hits an asteroid. Or imagine a baseball that was simply placed in the middle of space with no push. That ball would stay in the same spot forever unless it encountered a force like a collision or a gravity field. So you now know that force is the thing that affects and changes an object's motion. One giant example of force and inertia interacting is our solar system. The planets will never stop moving because they where put in motion long ago by some vast explosion. But they don't fly off into space because the force of gravity wielded by the sun has caught them in its pull and is able to change their headlong motion into an eternal loop. To put it simply, force affects objects as either a push or a pull.
