Give an illustration to show that a force can change the direction of motion of an object.
An applied force can change the direction of motion of an object. This can be illustrated from the following example given below.
When a ball at the end of a string is rotated in a circular motion, the hand exerts a force radially towards the centre of the circular path. This force continuously changes the direction of motion of the ball, thus enabling the ball to move along a circular path.
