  1. AMass and velocity
  2. BMass and acceleration
  3. CWeight and velocity
  4. DWeight and acceleration

45th BPSC Prelims 2001

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Mass and acceleration

Explanation

By Newton's second law, force equals mass × acceleration (F = ma): the rate of change of momentum.

Mass × velocity is momentum, not force.
