• The object speeds up.

• The object remains stationary.

• The object changes direction.

What is the result of applying a force perpendicular to the direction of an object's motion?

• The object turns.

• The object slows down.

• The object remains stationary.

• The object speeds up.

What determines the amount of motion created by unbalanced forces?

• The shape of the object

• The color of the object

• The size of the object

• The difference in size of the forces

In which direction will an object move when two unbalanced forces act on it?

• In the direction of the smaller force

• In the opposite direction of both forces

• In the direction of the larger force

• Perpendicular to both forces
