why is force equal to rate of change in momentum rather than rate of change in kinetic energy.
If we consider time is 1 sec,and if we consider an object is moving with particular velocity V1 and a force F is applied to change the velocity to V2, then according to newton the force applied is equivalent to change in momentum rather than change in kinetic energy.
so why is that entire force not converted to energy or kinetic energy but only to momentum.comparing the two forms i.e momentum and KE, where velocity is greater than 1, we observe K.E > Momentum ,so the question becomes why is force reduced to momentum rather than kinetic energy.
