AI Generated Solution

To show that the linear momentum of a particle remains constant when the net force acting on it is zero, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Newton's Second Law**: According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force \( F \) acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum \( p \). Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ F = \frac{dp}{dt} ...
