Answer: Newton's Second law of motion says that: the "Rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force on the body."

Explanation: Let The force applied on a body be 'F', and the change in momentum of the body in 't' time is 'p' then according to the above statement:

1. F∝
(dp)/(dt)

2. F=k.
(dp)/(dt) (where k is the proportionality constant)

3. F=k.
(d(m.v))/(dt) (momentum = velocity x mass)

4. F= k.(m.
(dv)/(dt)+v(dm)/(dt)) (separation formula of derivation)

5. F=
k(m.a+v.0) (at low-speed mass does not vary with time so,
(dm)/(dt)=0)

6. F= k.m.a (for unit mass to produce 1 m/
s^(2) acceleration 1-newton force is required hence in SI units: k=1 )

7. F=m.a (this is the equation for the second law of motion)

Answer:

Newtons Second Law of motion states that"The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied"

This means that,

◎ F = △P/t

◎ F = P2-P1

t

since P(momentum) = MV

◎ F=MV2-MV1

t

◎ F= M(V2-V1)

t

V2 - V1 = a

⊙ F= ma
