Question

what is momentum? state and prove Newton's second law of motion

Answer 1

a property of a moving body that the body has by virtue of its mass and motion and that is equal to the product of the body's mass and velocity ; broadly : a property of a moving body that determines the length of time required to bring it to rest when under the action of force. According to Newton's second law... Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
