Detailed Solution

Ball hit by a bat and a ball hitting the wall are examples of a force that changes the direction of motion.
A force is defined as a push or a pull, which either causes or ceases motion in an object. It is also responsible for changing the direction of motion of a moving body. By the second law of motion, we know that a force is responsible for providing acceleration to a body which in turn alters the body's speed. When we throw a ball onto the wall, the direction of the ball changes due to the force exerted by the wall. If a cricket ball is hit by a bat, the direction of the ball changes due to the force applied by the bat. Thus, they are examples of force that changes the direction of motion of a body.
