Write \"T\" next to each true statement below, and write \"F\" for every false s

Question

Write "T" next to each true statement below, and write "F" for every false statement. _____ The displacement vector for an object can be in a different direction than its average velocity (during the same time interval). _____ An object's momentum is always in the same direction as the acceleration on that object. _____ The change in an object's momentum can be in a different direction than the net force on the object. _____ An object's momentum and its instantaneous velocity are always in the same direction. _____ If the net force on an object is constant, then the rate of change of its momentum is constant.

Explanation / Answer

1. F ( Since Velocity is defined as displacement by time)

2. F ( Momentum direction is based on direction of velocity, not acceleration)

3. F ( Change in objects momentum should be in same direction as Force, as per Newton's 2nd Law)

4. T ( Momentum and velocity are in same direction)

5. T ( since Net Force equals rate of change of momentum, as per Newton's 2nd Law)
