Force is required to alter the speed or direction of motion of an object.
Force alters the motion of objects by causing acceleration. According to Newton’s second law of motion, force equals mass times acceleration. Thus, applying a force to an object changes its velocity, either by increasing or decreasing its speed, or by changing its direction of motion.
