Question

A moving object is under the action of ___.

  1. Wind
  2. Air
  3. Pressure
  4. Force 

hintHint:

A force acting on an object causes the object to change its shape or size, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.

The correct answer is: Force


    • Force is an external agent capable of changing a body's state of rest or motion. It has a magnitude and a direction.
    • Can change the state of an object.
    • May change the speed of an object.
    • May change the direction of motion of an object.
    • May bring about a change in the shape of an object.
    • Air, pressure, wind all these can make the object move by the force they applied.
