Multiple Choice point 11. A student claims that unbalanced forces acting on an object in motion can cause an object to change speed or direction. The best evaluation of this student's claim Is that - C. he is partially correct, unbalanced forces only change direction D. he is correct because unbalanced forces can change speed or direction B. he is partially correct, unbalanced forces only change direction A. he is not correct

Answer 1

The best answer is **D. he is correct because unbalanced forces can change speed or direction.**Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This means an unbalanced force is *required* to change either the speed or the direction of a moving object.
