what is Newton's 2nd law of motion and derive it
Answers
Explanation:
Let us derive the relation of force F = ma from Newton’s second law:
According to the Newton’s 2nd Law of motion, the rate of change of linear momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied external force and in the direction of force.
It means that the linear momentum will change faster when a bigger force is applied.
Consider a body of mass ‘m’ moving with velocity v.
The linear momentum of a body is given by:
p = mv
Now According to Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion:
Force is directly proportional to rate of change of momnetum, that is
F α dp/dt
F = k dp/dt
F = k d(mv)/dt
F = k md(v)/dt
F = k ma
Experimentally k =1
F = k ma
Which is the required equation of force.
Answer:
The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration. let be the initial and final momentums respectively.
