Question

According to Newton's second law of motion what is force equal to

Answer 1

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the netforce, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Answer 2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the object. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=m\times a$

It is also defined as the rate of change of linear momentum is directly proportional to the applied external force i.e.

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

If the momentum of the system is constant, the net force acting on it is equal to 0. Hence, this is the required solution.
