Solution

The correct option is B All statements except 5 and 3

Momentum P= M x V; P- momentum; M- mass; V- velocity

Momentum is a vector quantity it has both direction and magnitude.

The SI unit of momentum is Kg m s-1

Since an unbalanced force can bring a change in motion i.e. velocity. And since P depends on velocity, P can change by the application of unbalanced force.

A balanced force cannot bring a change in the motion, thus balanced force cannot change momentum.
