Question

If we know the magnitude of net force acting on a body of a given mass initially at rest, with help of Newton's second law, we can determine its ___ .

• A. inertia
• B. momentum
• C. velocity
• D. acceleration

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B

momentum

C

velocity

D

acceleration

Using Newton's second law, if the mass of a body and the net force acting on it is given, we can determine its acceleration using F= ma. Once the acceleration of a body is determined, we can find the velocity of the body using the equations of motion. Once the velocity is known, momentum can also be determined. Hence, options B, C, D are correct.
