Since a net force is equal to mass times acceleration, and a net force is also equal to the rate of change of momentum, then the rate of change of momentum must equal mass times acceleration.

  True

  False

Consider a system of 2 objects, A and B.  If the rate of change of momentum of the entire system (A and B together) is zero then

 

The total momentum of the system must be zero.

 

 

The total momentum of the system must be constant.

 

 

The momentum of A must be constant, and the momentum of B must be constant.

 

 

The total momentum of the system is conserved.

 

 

the momentum of A must be zero, and the momentum of B must be zero.

 

 

You don't have enough information to determine the momentum of A or the momentum of B.
