Linear momentum of a body is defined as….. .

The linear momentum of a body changes at the rate of 10kgms^(-1) per second Force acting on the body is

A ____ is a device that helps do work by either overcoming a force or changing the direction of the applied force.

Assertion : Linear momentum of a body changes even when it is moving uniformly in a circle. Reason : Force required to move a body uniformly along a straight line is zero.

Assertion: A rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum. Reason: Wheneven there is a change in momentum of one body, the same change occurs in the momentum of the second body of the same system but in the opposite directio.

Work done by a force is zero when a body gets displaced along a direction ……….. to the direction of applied force .

The linear momentum of a body is increased by 10% . What is the percentage change in its KE?

Assertion: To conserve linear momentum of a system, no force should act on the system. Reason: If net force on a system is zero, its linear momentum should remain constant.

Assertion: Internal forces cannot change linear momentum. Reason: Internal forces can change the kinetic energy of a system.
