Strictly you should ask whether a force can change the direction a body is moving in. The answer is yes.

What must change when a body is accelerating?

A moving body can be accelerated by applying a force. This force will act to increase velocity, decrease velocity or change the direction the body is moving. All three of these are acceleration.


Can force change the magnitude of a body?

Yes, force can change the magnitude of a body.


A ..is required to change the speed and direction of a moving body?

Force. Change in speed and direction is change in velocity. Change is velocity is called acceleration a=F/m.. The amount of change is the amount of acceleration and that depends inversely on the mass and directly on the force.


What are ways in which force may change the motion of a body?

If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.


What force is on a body that are equal in size and opposite in direction and do not change the motion of the body?

9.81


A net force changes the state of?

A net force on a body can stop the motion of a body , can create the motion of a body and can change the direction of motion of a body .


What is force and how is it measured?

In physics, a force is any influence that causes a free body to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape.

What is a direction of impulse?

impulse is equal to force which is acting on the body and ti me in small interval which is equal to momentum.so impulse is equal to change in momentum and direction of impulse is consider the direction of force and change in momentum.


What force can do to moving objects?

Forces can change the way the body is moving. Speed it up, slow it down, change its direction.. it depends if the body is in equilibrium or not and what forces are already in play


A change in speed or direction?

A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.


What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the direction in which the body is moving?

It depends how you changed the direction of the body. If the body is hit by an external force in the direction of motion, the velocity should increase. If the body is hit by an external force in the opposite direction of motion, velocity will decrease.
