When the force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion then it makes it to move along curved path

When the force is opposite to motion then it could stop it

If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?

You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.


What is needed to make an object move or make an object change direction or to stop motion of an object?

force

What are the different effects of forces on object?

force can change the shape and size of an object force can change the direction of an moving object force can make a stationary object move and make a moving object move faster force can slow down or completely stop a moving object


How does force effect an objects motion?

Force on an object accelerates the object. That means it can make the object go faster, go slower, or change the direction it's moving.


What can a force do?

a force is something that you apply to an object- it can move-change shape-change direction-slow it down-make it faster

Can forces make an object move faster or slower or change its direction?

Yes, forces do all of these things. A force changes the velocity of an object, and is the only thing that can change the velocity of an object.


What acts on a object to make the object change direction speed or both?

A force, or several forces that don't all cancel each other.


What is necessary for a force to move an object?

No force is required to keep an object in motion. Maintaining speed and direction seems to be "the natural thing to do" for any object. A force is required to CHANGE an object's velocity, whether you want to make it go faster, slow it down, or simply change the direction for a moving object.


Can unbalanced fores stop a moving object?

Yes. An unbalanced force can make an object go faster (if the force acts in the same directon of the movement); slow it down (opposite directions), or change its direction (if force is perpendicular to the direction of movement). All of these phenomena are called "acceleration", which for a physicist means "change of velocity".
