Physics Face-off: The Momentum Principle vs. Newton's 2nd Law

Published: June 6, 2018, 8:39 a.m.

b"Consider the following physics problem. An object with a mass of 1 kg and a velocity of 1 m/s in the x-direction has a net force of 1 Newton pushing on it (also in the x-direction). What will the velocity of the object be after 1 second? (Yes, I am using simple numbers\\u2014because the numbers aren't the point.) Let's solve this simple problem two different ways. For the first method, I will use Newton's Second Law.\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices"
