Which statement best describes the change in an objects momentum if the net force acting on the object is greatly increased ?

Answer C : The object's momentum will greatly increase

Explanation:

Recall that force and linear momentum are closely related by the equation:

Both, Momentum Change and Force (F) are in the numerator of on either side of the equation, so they are in direct proportionality. A large force (force greatly increased) will be the reflection of a large change in momentum.

The object’s momentum will greatly increase if the net force acting on the object is greatly increased. So option C is the best statement which describes the change in object momentum.

Explanation:

So as the force is directly proportional to momentum and it is obtained by performing the first order derivation of momentum, the variation in force and momentum will have to be same.

The force being the derivative of momentum indicates that if the net force acting on object is greatly increased means the momentum will also be undergoing great increase as the acceleration of the object will also be increased greatly due to increase of force.
