Newton's second Law of Motion states that The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied in the direction of force.
Let mass of an moving object = m.
Let the velocity of the object changes from 'u'
; to 'v' in the interval of time 't'
This means,
Initial velocity of the object = u
.Final velocity of the object = v
.We know that momentum (p) = Mass x velocity
Therefore,
Momentum (p) of the object at its initial velocity u=m×u=mu
Momentum (p) of the object at its final velocity v=m×v=mv
The change in momentum =mv−mu
Rate of change of momentum =(mv−mu)/t-----(i)
According to the Newton’s Second Law of motion force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum.
This means, Force ∝ Rate of change of momentum
After substituting the value of rate of change of momentum from equation (i) we get.
Force (F) ∝mv−mu/t
⇒F∝m(v−u)/t
⇒F∝m v−u/t
⇒F∝ma
[∵ acceleration (a)=v−ut]
[Since, acceleration is the rate of change in velocity]
⇒F=k⋅m⋅a ----(ii)
Where k
is the proportionality constant
∵ 1 unit force is defined as the mass of 1kg object produces the acceleration of 1m/s2
∴ 1 unit of force =k×1kg×1m/s2
∴ by putting the value of k=1 in equation (ii)
F=m⋅a ----(iii)
⇒ Force = mass x acceleration
Thus Newton’s Second Law of Motion gives the relation between force, mass and acceleration of an object.
