1. Due to inertia of rest, the body continues in the state of rest.
2. Newtons first law:
Everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless it is compelled by an external unbalanced force to change that state:
3. Consider a body of mass ‘m’ moving with a momentum \(\vec p\) . Let \(\vec F\) be the force acting on it for time internal ∆t. Due to this force the momentum is changed from \(\vec p\) to p + ∆p. Then according to Newtons second law, we can write
Where K is a constant pf proportionality. When we take the limit ∆t → 0, we can write
