Answer: The velocity magnitude or the velocity direction chages.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a system moved in same direction and is also directly proportional to the external force which acts on it while inversely proportional to the mass. The formula is: a = F/m

Based on the question, since the object obtains acceleration, then it can be infered that there will be changes in the velocity magnitude or the direction as a result of the motion.
