A 35 N force acts on a body of mass 5 kg for 2 seconds. Calculate the change in momentum of the body.

  • A. 70 kg ms\(^{-1}\)
  • B. 55 kg ms\(^{-1}\)
  • C. 50 kg ms\(^{-1}\)
  • D. 35 kg ms\(^{-1}\)

Correct Answer: A. 70 kg ms\(^{-1}\)

Explanation

Change in momentum

= F x t = 35N x 2

= 70kg ms\(^{-1}\)
