The rate of change of momentum of a body...

The rate of change of momentum of a body is pro-portional to ______.

A

directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

B

inversely proportional to the force applied on the body.

C

directly proportional to its surface area.

D

inversely proportional to its surface area.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

By Newton.s `2^(nd)` law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force acting on the body.
