Derivation For Newton’s Second Law Of Motion For Changing Mass Let us assume we have a car at a point (0) defined by location X0 and the time t0. The car has mass m0 that travels with velocity v0.

The formula in equation form is: Derivation For Newton’s Second Law Of Motion For Changing Mass Let us assume we have a car at a point (0) defined by location X0 and the time t0.

The paper is only two pages long, and only shows how the equation can arise from approximations to relativity. It's more of a proof of concept than a formal derivation.
