...Dynamics. 120. Newton's SECOND LAW OP MOTION is as follows : — Change of momentum is proportional to force, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. When a body (however massive) is free, every force (however small) produces its proper change of momentum.... | |

...Dynamics. 120. Newton's SECOND LAW OF MOTION is as follows: — Change of momentum is proportional to force, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. Thus, according to Newton, a force always produces change of momentum. Hence there is no balancing... | |
