Question

Mathematically force acting on a body is directly proportional to- (a) the mass of the body (b) to its acceleration (c) to its momentum (d) both a and b​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) both a and b.

Explanation:

Mathematically force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and its acceleration. This mathematical expression is clearly stated in Newton's second law of motion. The law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it. This law can be mathematically explained as:

                                       F = ma

Where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
