Dear student
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Mathematically, a=dvdt. Substituting this value in the expression for rate of change of momentum, we get,dpdt=ma. Therefore, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
