A force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Force.

For example:

If I were to kick a ball, I would be applying force to it, in the form of the kinetic energy (AKA motion) present in my leg. If I were to crush a flower, I would be exerting a force most simply known as compression the flower. Even now, I am applying compressional force to the keys on my computer, and gravity is applying gravitational force to me, keeping me in my seat.

yes. if 2 or more forces act on something, they change its shape or volume (or both). the effect can be noticeable with flexible objects.

Force can change the shape of objects it acts upon. Force itself does not have shape.

Explain why density is a size independent property how does it differ from a size dependent property?

Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes. Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.


How does the size of the change in motion relate to the strength of the unbalanced force and the mass of the object?

Size of acceleration = (net force)/(mass)

No, its erosion that causes rocks to change


What if there are no elasticity?

if there is no elasticity means...there will be no deformation in shape and size...and one more thing is if we try to change the shape of the object and no elasticity means the object will break...
