Answer to Question #154667 in Classical Mechanics for Raees Nisar

Question

what is second law of motion and how it is related to gravity

Answer 1

Answer

According to second law of gravity "rate of change in momentum of body is directly proportion to the applied force on body."

So

$F=\frac{dP}{dt}\\and\\P=mv\\so\\F=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}\\m=constant\\then\\F=m\frac{dv}{dt}\\or\\F=ma\\$

If acceleration is due to gravity then

$a=g\\so\\F=mg$
