According to this law, the rate of change of momentum of a body per unit time is directly proportional to the unbalanced force acting on the body.
Which means F is directly proportional to
Equation for the second law is -
Consider a body of mass m moving with initial velocity u. Let a force F acts on the body for time t.
Initial momentum = mu
Final momentum = mv
Change in momentum = mu - mv
= m(v - u)
Time taken = t
Rate of change of momentum
=
=
F (directly proportional) ...( 1 )
Since v = u + at
= a
Therefore, equation 1 can be written as
F = k ma ..... ( 2 )
Where k is constant of proportionality
F = 1 unit
m = 1 unit
a = 1 unit
Then from eq. ( 2 )
K = 1
Put this value of k in eq. ( 2 )
So,
Momentum is known as the product of mass and velocity
• Momentum = mass × velocity
• It is denoted by P
• Momentum is a vector quantity
• S.I. unit of momentum = kg m/s
• C.G.S. system = g cm/s
• Other unit = N/s
Momentum = mass × velocity
• Momentum = P
• Mass = m
• Velocity = v
