Which of the following will always be in the direction of the net external force acting on the body? (a) Displacement (b) Velocity (c) Acceleration (d) Change in momentum
Added by Nathan G.
Step 1
It is a vector quantity, but it does not necessarily have to be in the direction of the net external force. For example, if an object is moving in a circular path, the net external force is towards the center, but the displacement can be in any direction along the Show more…
