If the force applied on the object is in the direction of its motion, the speed of the object ________.
Increases
By Newton's second law, a net force produces acceleration in its own direction. When the force acts along the direction of motion, the velocity vector and acceleration vector point the same way, so the object's speed increases. A force opposite to motion would decrease speed; a perpendicular force would change only direction.
