Question

How does momentum relate to the newton's laws?

Answer 1

Newton's second law states that, the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and the change takes place in the direction of applied force.

Explanation:

A simple mathematical way of writing all that is,

`vecF prop (dvecp)/dt`
`implies vecF = k(dvecp)/dt`

Where `k` is the proportionality constant.

In SI units `k = 1`.
