Question

newtons first law quick check
according to newtons first law, what potential impact can an unbalanced force have on an object in motion? (1 point)
an unbalanced force can only change the objects direction.
an unbalanced force will have no impact on an object in motion.
an unbalanced force can only change the objects speed.
an unbalanced force can change both the objects direction and speed.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed and direction) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force can cause a change in velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, an unbalanced force can change either or both of these aspects of an object's motion.

Answer:

An unbalanced force can change both the object's direction and speed.
