How would you arrive at a mathematical formula to measure who is using second law of motion define the unit of?
Answers
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
The differential equation for force F is:
F = d(m * v) / dt
If we take very small time increments, we can write a difference equation from the differential equation:
F = (m1 * v1 - m0 * v0) / (t1 - t0)
If the mass is a constant, using the definition of acceleration a as the change in velocity with time, the second law reduces to the more familiar product of a mass and an acceleration:
F = m * a
The force, acceleration, velocity, and momentum have both a magnitude and a direction associated with them.
