Answer Key / Explanation : (b,c) -

(b,c)

The general form of Newton’s second law is

The form is valid only if , i.e., mass does not change with time. Hence, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (b) is correct because a body at rest may have potential energy yet no momentum. Option (c) is also correct. A body has momentum if it has mass and velocity and a body having mass and velocity must have kinetic energy. Option (d) is incorrect because the relative velocity remains unchanged in magnitude and gets reversed in direction

Hence, the correct options are (b) and (c)
