Question

The rate of change of momentum of a body is equal to the resultant:

The correct answer is

Force

Correct option- (c)

The rate of change of momentum of a body is equal to the force applied.

Momentum = mass × velocity

Change in momentum →

d(momentum) = mass × d(velocity)

Force = mass × acceleration

Energy
  • Energy is the capacity to do work. It is measured in joules.
Power
  • Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done.
  • It is measured in watts.
Force
  • Any action that is taken to maintain or change the motion of a body. It is measured in newtons.
  • Newton's second law: The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.
Impulse
  • Impulse is defined as the product of the force acting on an object and the time duration for which the force acts.
  • It is measured in newton-seconds.
  • When an impact force is applied, it results in a change in motion. It is used to calculate the increase in motion of a body.
