| Dec 13, 2023 at 7:38 | comment | added | Agnius Vasiliauskas | What do you mean by "prove the formula for momentum" ? To prove that $p=mv$ ? If so, it's not provable, some things in Physics are just definitions, like axioms in math which also is not provable. It's like if I would ask you "prove" our star name "Sun". Or "prove" that acceleration is ${dv}/{dt}$. Such questions makes no sense. | |

If you read Newton's Principia, you will see it prominently written as a definition before N2L is even written down. | |
