Answer 2

In other words (those of Issac Newton), net force on object = rate of change of its momentum (m V)

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Yes, that is correct. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum. In the case of a tennis player hitting a ball, the force exerted by the racket will cause a change in the ball's momentum, resulting in both a change in direction and speed.
