The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the wrong statement among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option 1**: - The statement is: "Weight is equal to mass into gravitational acceleration." - This is a correct statement. The formula for weight (W) is given by: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where \( m \) is mass and \( g \) is the gravitational acceleration (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) on Earth). 2. **Analyze Option 2**: - The statement is: "Momentum is a vector quantity." - This is also a correct statement. Momentum (p) is defined as: \[ p = m \cdot v \] where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. Since velocity is a vector, momentum is also a vector quantity. 3. **Analyze Option 3**: - The statement is: "Force is always conserved." - This statement is incorrect. Forces are not conserved; rather, momentum is conserved in the absence of external forces. Therefore, this is the wrong statement. 4. **Analyze Option 4**: - The statement is: "Momentum is conserved in the absence of an external force." - This is a correct statement. According to the law of conservation of momentum, if no external forces act on a system, the total momentum of the system remains constant. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all options, the wrong statement is **Option 3: "Force is always conserved."** ### Final Answer: **Option 3 is the wrong statement.** ---
