Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology

If two bodies of different masses, initially at rest, are acted upon by the same force for the same time, then the both bodies acquire the same

  1. velocity

  2. momentum

  3. acceleration

  4. kinetic energy

B Correct answer
Explanation

From Newton's second law: F = dp/dt, so change in momentum p = F × t. Since both bodies experience the same force for the same time, they acquire the same momentum. Lighter body will have greater velocity and kinetic energy (different acceleration).
