Stated generally, the greater the rate of change of momentum, the greater is the:
AThe volume
BThe density
CThe mass
DThe force
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The force
1. Rate of change means change divided by time.
2. The second law ties that rate directly to the force applied.
3. So a faster change means the force is greater.
