How does Newton’s second law of motion give the concept of inertial mass? |
|
Answer» Mass given by the equation a = \(\frac{F}{M}\), i.e., M = \(\frac{F}{a}\) is called inertial mass. Clearly, higher the mass means lesser the acceleration. Thus mass of a body resists the acceleration, i.e., rate of change in velocity coming up due to external force or in other words it is the measure of inertia of a body. |
