According to Newton`s Second law,F=dp/dt[where dp is rate of change of momentum and dt is change in time]=>(10*0.1)/0.1=10N(Ans)

Given the following:

m=0.1kg¸ ∆v=10m╱s¸∆t=0.1s¸ What is F

Starting with the equation: F∆t = m∆v, we can rearrange the equation for force:

F=m∆v╱∆t, substituting known values:

F=(0.1kg x 10m╱s)╱0.1s

F=10N
