(N/A) Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the force.
Mathematically,this is expressed as:
$F = \frac{dp}{dt}$
Where:
$F$ is the net force acting on the object.
$p$ is the linear momentum of the object.
$t$ is time.
For a body of constant mass $m$ moving with acceleration $a$,this simplifies to:
$F = ma$
