The relationship between object’s momentum, mass, displacement

and force

THE POTENTIAL THEORY OF FORCE

MOHAMMED SABID UDDIN

1)Introduction:
We know that what is force. To determine the value of
force, we use this formula: F=ma. If we know the value
of object’s momentum, mass and displacement, we can
determine the force which was applied on the object.

2)Method:
We know that- v²=u²+2as

Or, v²= 2as [u=0]

Or, 2as= v² [Transforms]

Or, a= v²/2s. [Transforms]

So, a= v²/2s__________(i)

We know that- F=ma

=m× v²/2s

=mv²/2s

=m²v²/2ms

=p²/2ms

So, F=p²/2ms__________(ii)

If p= 2p then-

F'= (2p)²/2ms

= 4p²/2ms

F'÷F= (4p²/2ms)÷(p²/2ms)

= (4p²/2ms)×(2ms/p²)

=4

2
So, F'= 4F

If p= ½p then-

F’= (½p)²/2ms

= ¼p²/2ms

= p²/8ms

F'÷F= (p²/8ms)÷(p²/2ms)

= (p²/8ms)÷(2ms/p²)

=¼

So, F=¼F

If the square value of the momentum of an object

increases, then the value of the force of the object
increases proportionally. If the square value of the
momentum of an object decreases, then the value of the
force of the object decreases proportionally.

So, p²∞F_______(iii)

If ms= 2ms then-

P'= p²/2(2ms)

= p²/4ms

3
So, P'÷P= p²/4ms ÷ p²/2ms

= p²/4ms × 2ms/p²

=½

So, P'= ½P

Again, If ms= ½ms then-

P'= p²/2(½ms)

= p²/ms

So, P'÷P= p²/ms ÷ p²/2ms

= p²/ms × 2ms/p²

=2

So, P'=½P

If the value of object’s mass and displacement

increases, the value of the force of that object
decreases. Again, the value of object’s mass and
displacement decreases, the value of force of that
object increases.

So, P∞1/2ms________(iv)

From iii and iv no. equation-

p²∞F_______(iii)

F∞1/2ms________(iv)

So, F∞p²×1/2ms

Or, F∞p²/2ms

Or, F=kp²/2ms

So, F=kp²/2ms________(v)

If k=1 then- F=p²/2ms

6
So, we can say that-

The value of object’s force is proportional to the square

value of the momentum of that object and
disproportional to the value of its mass and
displacement.

3) Conditions of this law:

There are some conditions of this law. They are-

i) The object should be a moving object.

ii) This formula applies to moving objects in a
plane. This formula does not apply to tilted
surfaces, freely falling objects and stationary
objects.

4) Conclusion:
So, if we know the value of object’s momentum, mass
and displacement , we can find out the force of that
object.
