Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks about what aspect of an exerted force affects the change in an object's velocity. The options provided are speed, acceleration, direction, and strength.

Step 2: Analyze the Options
  • Speed: This is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving. It does not directly relate to how a force changes velocity.
  • Acceleration: This is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. According to Newton's second law, force is directly related to acceleration (\( F = ma \)), which in turn affects velocity.
  • Direction: This refers to the line along which something moves, points, or faces. While direction is important in vector quantities, it is not directly what the question is asking about.
  • Strength: This could be interpreted as the magnitude of the force. While it affects the acceleration, the term "strength" is not typically used in this context.
Step 3: Determine the Correct Answer

The change in an object's velocity is directly related to the acceleration, which is caused by the exerted force. Therefore, the correct answer is "Acceleration."

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Acceleration}}\)
