Define momentum . State the Newton's second law of motion that isrelated to momentum of the body and derive a formula for the force by using the concept of momentum.
Answers
Answer:
Momentum is defined as a vector quantity mathematically equal to the product of mass of an object and it's instantaneous velocity.
Newton's Second Law states that the rate of change of linear momentum of a body is equal to the net external force on the object.
Which mathematically means,
If
P = mv
where P is denoted for momentum.
Therefore,
∆P/∆t = F(ext)
So,
∆P = m∆v if the mass of the object is considered to be invariant of the considered analysis.
Therefore,
F(ext) = m∆v/∆t = ma
where, a is the acceleration of the body.
Note as a brilliant fact :
Newton's Second Law isn't F(net ext) = ma !!
It's actually
F(net ext) = ∆P/∆t
It's just that for our normal life events we don't consider a significant effect of change in mass,
So, we consider mass to be invariant and hence say that F(net ext) = ma
Hope this helps you !
<> "Momentum" can be defined as the PROPERTY of a "Moving object" to continue its "MOTION"
<> Momentum can also be defined by its FORMULAE
p :
Momentum is the product of and of a "MOVING BODY"
If there is change in the momentum
then it is represented as Δp
here, mass is constant!
