newton's second law of motion- definition and derivation
Answers
Newton's second law if motion states that rate of change of momentum of a body us directly proportional to the force applied on it and the change in momentum takes place in direction in which force is applied

Answer:
Definition: Newton's second law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass.
Derivation: Since, Force ∝ Change in Momentum / Time Taken
Now, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
Thus, change in momentum is
Change in Momentum = mv - mu
Thus, we have
Force ∝ (mv - mu)/t
Force ∝ m(v-u) / t
But, (v-u)/t is the acceleration of the body
Thus, Force ∝ ma
Force = kma
k is the constant of proportionality and in SI units, its value is 1.
"F = ma"
This is the equation of Newton's second law of motion.
