QUESTION 2
2.1 When a resultant/net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of
the force at an acceleration directly proportional to the forceü and inversely proportional
to the mass of the object. ü
OR
The resultant/net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum
of the object in the direction of the resultant/net force. üü (2)
