Solution
According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on it and the change of momentum takes place in the direction in which the force is applied.
It gives the quantitative value of force, i.e. it relates the force to the measurable quantities such as acceleration and mass.
