| Apr 7, 2011 at 18:05 | comment | added | David Z | @JustJeff: actually $\mathbf{F}=\mathrm{d}\mathbf{p}/\mathrm{d}t$ is the most general form. The difference is important because in special relativity (and some other contexts), $\mathbf{p}\neq m\mathbf{v}$. | |
| Dec 4, 2010 at 15:02 | comment | added | JustJeff | F=d(mv)/dt is what's generally applicable, it's just that everyone learns the approximation F=ma first, b/c it's close enough (for most observers) to assume that masses are constant. | |
