"The rate of change of linear momentum of a body with time is directly proportional to the net force acting on it."
How to determine that the constant of proportionality is 1?
=>F[itex]\propto[/itex]dp/dt
Then how do we suddenly come to:F=dp/dt?
We took the proportionality constant as 1 but why?How to determine that the constant of proportionality is 1?
