Question

derive the relation between force and acceleration

Open in App
Solution

According to the Newton's first law of motion the force is directly related to the change in momentum of a body, so

F = dp/dt

now momentum is given a. p = mv

where m is the mass and v is the velocity

so,

F = d(mv)/dt = m(dv/dt)

or we get

F = ma

this derivation involves differentiation which taught in class 11, so it's okay if you don't follow the steps entirely...
