Statement I: Two particle are moving towards each other due to mutual gravitational attraction. The momentum of each particle will increase.
Statement II: The rate of change of momentum depends upon `F_(e xt)`.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statemet I is true, Statement II is true , Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to attractive force, their velocities increase: hence, momentum also increases. For individual particle, gravitational attractive force will be external force.
