Forces can cause objects to start moving, stop moving, change direction, or alter their shape. When unbalanced forces act on an object, they change its state of motion, resulting in acceleration or deceleration. For example, pushing a stationary car causes it to move forward (acceleration), while friction between the car tires and the road can slow it down (deceleration). Balanced forces, on the other hand, result in no change in motion, as the forces cancel each other out. Understanding how forces affect motion is crucial for predicting and controlling the behaviour of objects in various applications.
