State the mathematical relationship between the net force acting on an object and the time taken to change the object's momentum

1 answer

The mathematical relationship between the net force acting on an object and the time taken to change the object's momentum is given by Newton's second law of motion. According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

Net force (F) = rate of change of momentum (Δp) / time taken (Δt)

This can also be written as:

F = Δp / Δt

Where F represents the net force, Δp represents the change in momentum, and Δt represents the time taken for this change to occur.
