Answer:
(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
Explanation:
Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.
P = MV
According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).
F ∝ΔMV
Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.
(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
