Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the netforce, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the object. Mathematically, it is given by :


F=m* a

It is also defined as the rate of change of linear momentum is directly proportional to the applied external force i.e.


F=(dp)/(dt)

If the momentum of the system is constant, the net force acting on it is equal to 0. Hence, this is the required solution.
