Question

Which formula for net force contains an error?(1 point)
Responses

Fnet = mΔv / Δt
F net = mΔv / Δt

Fnet = ΔV / Δt
F net = ΔV / Δt

Fnet = ma
F net = ma

Fnet = Δp / Δt

Answer 1

The formula that contains an error is:

**Fnet = ΔV / Δt**

This equation suggests that net force is equal to the change in velocity divided by the change in time, which is incorrect. Instead, net force should be related to the change in momentum or acceleration (mass times acceleration).

The correct relationships are:

1. **Fnet = mΔv / Δt** (Net force is the change in momentum over time)
2. **Fnet = ma** (Net force is mass times acceleration)
3. **Fnet = Δp / Δt** (Net force is the change in momentum divided by time)

Thus, the formula **Fnet = ΔV / Δt** is not correct in the context of net force.
