According to Newton's second law, the force
F = m a
The expression for the rate of change of momentum,
d p d t = d d t ( m v ) = m d v d t = m a = F
From the above equation,
change in momentum change in time force
Therefore, the relation between the rate of change of linear momentum and the external force applied is directly proportional as per Newton's second law.
Thus, the correct option is (A).
