Question

Rate of change of momentum takes place in the direction

• A. Of motion
• B. Of applied force
• C. Opposite to the direction of applied force
• D. Perpendicular to the direction of motion

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Of applied force

he rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, as given by the equation F = d/dt (P) Therefore, the direction of the change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force.
