The following five statements are parts of a derivation that leads to the relation between force, mass and acceleration for constant mass motion in a straight line. They are given in jumbled order:
A. Substitute Δp=m(v−u) into F=tΔp.
B. According to Newton’s Second Law, F=tΔp.
C. Therefore F=mtv−u.
D. The change in momentum is Δp=m(v−u).
E. By definition, acceleration a=tv−u.
a. (i) Rearrange the above statements in the correct logical order to obtain the final relation.
b. (ii) After arranging, write the final simplified expression for F in terms of m and a.
