No. From Newton’s second law, we have.
\(\frac{dP}{dt}=F\) …. (i)
dP = Fdt …. (ii)
From equation (ii), we can infer that a small force acting for a longer time can produce same change in momentum of a body as a large force acting in the same direction for a short time.
Hence, the given statement is incorrect.
