Physics
According to Newton's second law of motion, the change in momentum takes place in a direction :
- opposite to the direction of force applied
- perpendicular to the direction of the force applied
- similar to the direction of the force applied
- none of these
Answer
similar to the direction of the force applied
Reason — According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it and the change in momentum takes place in the direction in which the force is applied.
