From 2nd law, mathematically,
F = k(dp/dt) or F = dp/dt (take k = 1) (general case directly from 2nd law)
F = d(mv)/dt = m(dv/dt) + v(dm/dt) (general case)
N.B. k = 1 is just for the definition of the Newton unit.
For constant m (a certain condition), F = m(dv/dt) = ma
Do you know that there are cases in which dm/dt is not zero and 2nd law needs to be applied?
Still F = ma is the general case?
special case: F = ma
most commonly used case: F = ma
I just want to clarify which the general case is.
This does not matter with convenience or practicality.
"Most of the time m is constant" does not mean anything.
Also, I am clarifying that "2nd law states that F=ma" is improper because it does not state that.
"By 2nd law, F=ma" is okay because F=ma is derived from 2nd law (as long as it is obviously known that m is constant in that case).
By 2nd law, we know that/arrive at F=ma for m is constant. However, 2nd law does not state that F=ma.
c.f. by Avogadro's law, 2 moles of helium occupy 48 dm3 at r.t.p. |
