A constant frictional force acts on a moving object for a short amount of time causing the momentum of the object to decrease. Which expression is used to calculate the time for which the force acts?

Atime = change in momentum / force
Btime = change in momentum × force
Ctime = momentum / force
Dtime = momentum × force

✓ Correct answer

A: time = change in momentum / force
