what is newton's second law of motion.? derive its mathematical formula.

Newton's second law of motion :
The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.
Consider a body of mass m having an initial velocity u.The initial momentum of this body will be mu. Suppose a force F acts on this body for time t and causes the final velocity to become v. The final momentum of this body will be mv.Now the change in momentum of this body is mv - mu and the time taken for this changes t. So,according to Newton's second law of motion :
Where k is constant,
The value of constant k in SI unit is 1,so the above equation becomes :
THE RATE OF CHANGE OF MOMENTUM WHICH IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO FORCE APPLIED ON THE SYSTEM......
INITIAL MOMENTUM = mu
FINAL MOMENTUM = mv
CHANGE IN MOMENTUM = mv-mu
=m(v-u)
Time taken = t
RATE OF CHANGE OF MOMENTUM = change in momentum /time
=[m(v-u) /t]
hope it will help u.......
