Force and
Laws of
Motion
By Hardik Sir.
Topics to be Covered:-
Force
Galileo’s Analysis about Motion Newton’s
Laws of motion
FORCE:-
“Force is defined as a push or pull on the body. ”
1 N = 100000 dyne
Effects of Forces:-
→ Force can change the speed of a moving body. When you push a
swing, you apply force to make it go higher and faster.
730 N 950 N
760 N
500 N 1050 N
Inertia:-
Inertia is defined as a property of matter by which it tries to
maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight
line Inertia of an object is measured by its mass.
Important question:-
Q:-Why does a person standing in a bus fall backward when the bus
suddenly starts moving?
Ans:- Initially, both the bus and the person are at rest. When the
bus suddenly starts moving, the legs of the person move with the
bus, but the upper part of their body tends to remain at rest due to
inertia, causing them to fall backward if they are not alert.
Jerks cause the water droplets in the clothes to separate from the
fabric. When the clothes are suddenly moved, the water droplets
tend to remain at rest due to inertia and fall out, reducing the
water content in the clothes and helping them dry faster.
Why does the coin fall into the glass tumbler when the card is
flicked away quickly?
The coin remains in its state of rest due to inertia. When the card is
flicked away quickly, the coin's inertia causes it to stay in place
while the card moves, so the coin falls straight down into the
tumbler.
Why does water spill when you turn around quickly holding a tray
with a water-filled tumbler?
The water tends to stay in its state of rest due to inertia. When the
tray is turned quickly, the water does not follow the motion of the
tray immediately, causing it to spill out.
Why does only the bottom coin move when a pile of coins on a
carom board is hit with a striker?
When the striker hits the pile of coins, only the bottom coin moves
due to the force applied, while the rest of the coins in the pile tend
to remain at rest due to inertia, causing them to drop vertically and
stay in place.
MOMENTUM:-
Momentum is the quantity of motion an object has The product of
velocity and mass is called the momentum. Momentum is denoted
by ‘p’ .
p=mxv
