C. The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and occurs in the direction in which the force is applied.
D. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Q.2. What is the correct definition of inertia?
A. The resistance of a body to a change in its state of motion.
B. The measure of a body’s resistance to acceleration.
C. The measure of a body’s mass.
