Solution
Various effects of force :
- A force can move a stationary object.
Example: Pulling a suitcase on its wheels. - A force can stop a moving object.
Example: A ball rolling on the rough surface comes to rest after some time due to the force of friction. - A force can change the speed of a moving object.
Example: We can increase the speed of a moving swing, we apply a force (push) in the direction of motion to increase its speed. - A force can change the direction of a moving object.
Example: A moving bicycle changes its direction when a force is applied to steer its handle. - A force can change the shape and size of an object.
Example: When we make a chapatti, a small ball of dough is changed to a flat, circular shape of a much bigger size by applying a force with the help of a rolling pin.

Analogy
Objects placed at rest on earth: ______:: Bodies slide over the surface on other body: ______.
Assertion: Friction always opposes the motion.
Reason: Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.
Assertion: There is a danger of a vehicle skidding on a wet road.
Reason: The tires of the vehicle lose their grip on the road due to an increase in friction due to the presence of water on the road.
