This page describes Newton's Second Law, also known as the momentum principle, which relates net force to the change in linear momentum. This principle is used to predict the effects of forces on the motion of objects.

The Main Idea

Newton's Second Law states that [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings. Often, the system in question consists of a single particle whose motion we want to predict.
