Question

The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to in physics

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

At a particular place the mass remains constant.

So, rate of change in momentum is equal to

m×change in velocity with respect to time.

We know that change in velocity with respect to time is called as acceleration.

So, rate of change of momentum is equal to product of mass and acceleration.

product of mass and acceleration is called force.

So rate of change of momentum is proportional to force.
