Q1. State Newton's Third Law of Motion.
⟹ If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.
⠀
Or
⠀
Every action has its equal and opposite reaction.
⠀
⠀
Q2. Prove that F = ma.
⟹ Let us consider an object of mass m, moving along a straight line with an initial velocity u. Let us say, after a certain time t, with a constant acceleration, the final velocity becomes v. Here we see that, the initial momentum
p1 = m × u
The final momentum
p2 = m × v
The change in momentum can be expressed as
p2 – p1 = (m × v) – (m × u)
p2 – p1 = m (v – u)
But we know that the rate of change of momentum with respect to time is proportional to the applied force.
The applied force
F ∝ [m (v – u)]/t
F ∝ m × a
as acceleration (a) = rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Step-by-step explanation:
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION:-
For two different bodies, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Proof of F=ma
Let there be an object with mass m, moving in a straight line, with initial velocity u. After a certain time t, then the velocity becomes a final velocity v, then we get the initial momentum as:-
And the final momentum as:-
The change is momentum is expressed by taking both LHS and RHS like this:-
But the rate of change of momentum with respect to time is directly proportional to the force applied.
Hence proved.
