Question

Say whether the following statement is True or False :
Force = mass x velocity

Answer 1

Given statement is false.

According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force is directly proportional to the rate of change in linear momentum.

F = kdp/dt

k = 1

F = dp/dt

F = d(mv)/dt

F = mdv/dt

Now, force is proportional to Change in velocity, But there is the time in vision which is making that terms as acceleration.

Therefore, correct answer will be,

 F = m × a

Hence given statement is false.
