Question
State Newton's second law of motion. Under what condition does it take the form F = ma?
✓
Answer
According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on it, and the change of momentum takes place in the direction in which the force is applied. The relation F = ma 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.
