Question

Write the mathematical form of Newton's second law of motion. State the conditions if any.

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

Mathematical expression of Newton's second law of motion is as shown below:

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Above relation holds for the following conditions:

(i) When the velocity of the body is much smaller than the velocity of light.

(ii) When the mass remains constant.
