Question

Say whether the following statement is True or False :
Force= mass $\times$ velocity

Answer 1

According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force is directly proportional to the rate of change in linear momentum.

$F=\frac{kdp}{dt}$

$k=1$

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$F=\frac{d\left(mv\right)}{dt}$

$F=\frac{mdv}{dt}$

Now, force is proportional to Change in velocity, But there is the time in vision which is making that terms as acceleration.

Therefore, correct answer will be,

$F=m\times a$

Hence given statement is false.
