Properties of Matter

Peter Guthrie Tait - 1885 - 344 pages
...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....
