Here's why:
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Force is also a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
* Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
* Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Therefore, any net force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate, resulting in a change in its velocity.
Key points:
* Net force: The sum of all forces acting on an object.
* Acceleration: Change in velocity over time.
* Change in velocity can be a change in speed, a change in direction, or both.
