Question

The rate change of momentum of a body is 5 kilogram metre per second what is the force acting on the body

Answer 1

I hope in this way you will understand

Answer 2

Answer:

The force acting on the body is equal to 5N, when rate of change of momentum is 5kgm/s.

Explanation:

We have given,

The rate of change of momentum = 5 kgms⁻¹

According to Newton's second law of motion:

It states that the force applied on a body  is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of a body.

Momentum is a vector quantity. It has both direction and magnitude. The momentum occurs in the direction of the applied force.

So, Force ∝ Rate of change of momentum

Force acting on the body = 5 kgms⁻¹ = 5N

Therefore, 5N force is acting on the body.
