Momentum — Newton's Second LawMediumQuestion 30517

Question

Newton's second law in terms of momentum states:
  1. A
    F = ma
  2. B
    F = dp/dt
    Correct
  3. C
    F = p/t
  4. D
    F = mv²/r

Correct answer

F = dp/dt

Explanation

The more general form of Newton's second law is F = dp/dt. For constant mass, F = m(dv/dt) = ma.
