The equation you provided is a proportionality relationship between force (f) and
the rate of change of momentum (∂P/∂t) concerning time. This equation is a
mathematical representation of Newton's second law of motion, which states that
the net force acting on an object is proportional to the rate of change of its
momentum.
The equation f ∝ (mV - mU)/t relates the net force (f) acting on an object to the
change in its momentum (mV - mU) over a given time interval (t). It is a
rearranged form of Newton's second law, expressing force in terms of the rate of
change of momentum instead of acceleration directly.
The equation f ∝ m(V-U)/t relates the net force (f) acting on an object to its mass
(m) and the change in its velocity (V-U) over a given time interval (t). It expresses
Newton's second law regarding the velocity change rate rather than using
acceleration directly.
The equation f ∝ ma is a concise form of Newton's second law of motion. It
states that the net force (f) acting on an object is proportional to the product of its
mass (m) and acceleration (a). This fundamental relationship links an object's
motion to the forces causing that motion.
The equation f = kma is Newton's second law of motion in its complete form. It
states that the net force (f) acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass
(m) and acceleration (a), with k being a constant of proportionality. In the SI
system of units, k equals 1, so the equation simplifies to f = ma. This equation
quantitatively relates the motion of an object to the forces causing that motion,
forming one of the foundational principles of classical mechanics.
