Solution
Suppose one is riding a bicycle at a certain speed. Now, if someone pushes the moving bicycle from behind, then the speed of bicycle increases and it will move faster. On the other hand, if someone pulls the moving bicycle from behind then the speed of bicycle decreases and it will move slower. Thus, a push or pull can change the speed of the moving bicycle. As push or pull is a force, we can say that a force can change the speed of a moving bicycle (or any other moving body).
