Question

in formula F=DP/DT, d stands for what?

Kranav Sharma · Accepted Answer

This is a standard equation which describes the Newton's second
Law of Motion; it relates Force with momentum
F = dp/dt means that the force applied on a body is directly
proportional to the change in its momentum Here momentum refers to
as the amount of motion contained in a body So, in other words, the
equation represents the fact that force causes a change in the
motion (or state) of a body This is a fundamental definition of
force as far as classical Newtonian mechanics is concerned
The above relation can also be expressed as
F = dp/dt = d(mv)/dt
or
F = ma
force is also directly proportional to the acceleration (or
retardation) produced in a body
