Prove that the two equations shown below are equivalent.​

F = ma and F = p/t​


Sagot :

Newton’s Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

[tex]\Delta p = mv - mu \\\\\implies \Delta p = m(v-u) \\\\F = \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t} = ma[/tex]
