If the net external force acting on a body is zero, then total momentum of the body is (a) Zero (b) Variable (c) Constant (d) Information not sufficient
Added by P. C.
Step 1
Mathematically, this can be expressed as \( F = \frac{dP}{dt} \), where \( F \) is the net external force, \( P \) is the momentum of the body, and \( t \) is time. ** Show more…
