Question

The rate of change of momentum of an object is-

A.

Equal to displacement of the object

B.

Directly proportional to the resultant force applied

C.

Equal to its mass

D.

Inversely proportional to the resultant force applied

Correct option is B


According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force applied. Mathematically,

Here, F is the force, mmm is the mass, and v is the velocity. This explains why an object accelerates when a force is applied.
Important Points:
· Momentum = Mass × Velocity (p = mv).
· Newton's second law is the basis for calculating force in dynamic systems.
· If force increases, the rate of change of momentum increases proportionally.
· Force is measured in newtons (N).
· The law applies to systems with constant or variable mass.
