Question

Statement I:Newton’s second law of motion gives the measurement of force
Statement II :According to Newton’s second law of motion, force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum

• A. If both Statement I and Statement II are true and the Statement II is correct explanation of the Statement I
• B. If both Statement I and Statement II are true but the Statement II is not the correct explanation of the Statement II
• C. If Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. If both the Statements are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

According to second law $F=\frac{dp}{dt}=ma$
If we know the values of $m$ and $a$, the force acting on the body can be calculated and hence second law gives that how much force is applied on the body
