If the momentum of a body increases from units to units in , then the force acting on it is

  1. A
    1 unit
  2. B
    2 units
  3. C
    3 units
  4. D
    4 units

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the force () acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum () with respect to time ().

Given data:Initial momentum () = unitsFinal momentum () = unitsTime interval () = Calculating change in momentum:

Now, computing the force:
