upon by an external force.
Q9: How can we feel Inertia while traveling in a Car?
Ans:
 When traveling in a car, we can feel inertia when the car accelerates,
decelerates, or changes direction.
Example:
 If the car suddenly stops, our body tends to continue moving forward due to
its inertia, and we may feel ourselves being pushed against the seat belt.

increase in force will result in a proportional increase in acceleration, and vice
versa.”
Q12: State Newton's 3rd law of motion with its Mathematical Expression.
Ans:
Newton's 3rd law of motion:
 Newton's third law of motion states that “for every action, there is an equal
and opposite reaction”.
 This means that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, the
second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
Mathematical Expression:
 Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
 F12 = -F21
 Where F12 is the force exerted by object 1 on object 2, and F21 is the force
exerted by object 2 on object 1.

Q14: Define "Weight" and show that weight is a vector quantity.
Ans:
Weight:
 Weight is the force experienced by an object due to the gravitational attraction
between the object and a celestial body, such as the Earth.
 It is the force with which an object is pulled toward the center of the Earth or
any other massive body.
 Weight is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. The
direction of weight is always towards the center of the celestial body causing
the gravitational force.

Q19: Show the relationship between Force and change in momentum.
Ans:
Relationship between Force and change in momentum:
 The relationship between force and change in momentum is described by
Newton's second law of motion.
 According to this law, the force acting on an object is equal to the rate of
change of its momentum.
Mathematical Expression:

 It can cause the efficiency of machines and engines to decrease due to energy
losses in the form of frictional heat.
 It can create resistance in moving parts, leading to mechanical wear and
reduced lifespan.
 It can cause objects to slow down and come to a stop unless a continuous
external force is applied.
Q31: Define the term "Rolling Friction".
Ans:
Rolling friction:
 Rolling friction refers to the resistance to motion experienced by a rolling
object, such as a ball or a wheel, as it rolls over a surface.
 Unlike sliding friction, which opposes the motion of objects sliding against
each other, rolling friction is generally lower and allows objects to roll
smoothly with less energy loss.
 It occurs due to the deformation of the object and the interaction between the
surfaces in contact.
Q32: What are the useful methods to reduce friction?

o Choosing materials with low coefficients of friction can help reduce

frictional forces.
Q33: What type of friction is between a car tire and the road?
Ans:
 The type of friction between a car tire and the road is Static Friction.
 As the car moves, the tires roll smoothly over the road surface, and rolling
friction allows the vehicle to move forward.
 However, there can also be some amount of sliding friction present, especially
during braking or when the tires lose grip on slippery surfaces.
Q34: What type of friction is between our foot and the road?
Ans:
 The type of friction between our foot and the road can be a combination of
static friction and sliding friction.
 When we are standing or walking, static friction allows our foot to grip the
ground and prevents us from slipping.
 However, during activities like running or sliding, there is a transition from
static friction to sliding friction as the foot moves over the surface.
Q35: Differentiate between sliding and rolling friction.
Ans:
Sliding friction:
 Sliding friction occurs when two surfaces slide or move past each other,
creating resistance to the motion.
 It acts parallel to the surfaces in contact and can be greater than rolling
friction.
Rolling friction:
 Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls over a surface, such as a ball or a
wheel.
 It is generally lower than sliding friction and allows for smoother motion.

𝑟
center of the circle.
 It denotes the inward direction of acceleration required to keep the object
moving in a circular path.
Q41: Explain Centripetal force along with its Mathematical Expression.
Ans:
Centripetal force:
 Centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center of a curved path,
keeping an object moving in a circular or curved motion.

 It is experienced by an object moving in a curved path and is observed from a

rotating reference frame.
 Although we commonly refer to centrifugal force, it is a result of inertia and the
tendency of objects to move in a straight line due to their inertia.
Q44: How can tension act as a centripetal force?
Ans:
 Tension in a string, rope, or cable can act as a centripetal force when it is
exerted toward the center of a circular path.
Example:
 In situations where an object is moving in a circular motion, the tension in the
string provides the inward force required to keep the object in its path.
 This tension acts as the centripetal force, continuously changing the object's
direction and preventing it from moving in a straight line tangential to the
circle.
Q45: How can friction act as a centripetal force?
Ans:
 Friction can act as a centripetal force when an object is in contact with a
surface and experiences a force of friction directed toward the center of a
circular path.
Example:
 In turning a car or riding a bicycle, the friction between the tires and the road
provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the object moving in a curved
path.
 This frictional force allows the tires to grip the road and change the direction
of the vehicle.

 Gravitational force can act as a centripetal force when an object is in orbit

around a more massive body, such as a planet orbiting the Sun or a moon
orbiting a planet.
 The gravitational force between the objects provides the necessary centripetal
force to keep the object in its circular path.
 The gravitational force continually pulls the object towards the center of the
orbit, balancing the object's inertia and allowing it to maintain its orbital
motion.
Q47: Write down the unit of the coefficient of friction.
Ans:
Unit of coefficient of friction:
 The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless quantity and does not have a
unit.
 It is represented by the symbol "μ" and is typically determined through
experiments or measurements for specific combinations of materials.
 i.e.
𝑓
 μ=
Fn

Q48: What are the factors on which the magnitude of centripetal force
depends?
Ans:
Factors:
The magnitude of the centripetal force depends on the following factors:
 Mass of the object:
o A greater mass requires a larger centripetal force to maintain the
object's circular motion.
 Speed of the object:
o A higher speed necessitates a greater centripetal force to counteract the
object's tendency to move in a straight line.
 Radius of the circular path:

o A smaller radius requires a larger centripetal force to maintain the

object's curvature.
 Acceleration of the object:
o The centripetal force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its
centripetal acceleration (v² /r), so any factor affecting the object's
acceleration will also impact the magnitude of the centripetal force.

Extra questions:
Q: Explain the concept of momentum conservation and its implications in
collisions.
Ans:
Momentum Conservation and Its Implications in Collisions:
 Momentum is the product of an object’s mass and its velocity. It’s a measure
of how much “motion” an object has.
 Momentum conservation states that in the absence of external forces, the total
momentum of a system remains constant before and after a collision.
Implications:
 In a collision, the momentum change of one object is equal and opposite to
the momentum change of another object.
 If no external forces act during the collision, momentum is conserved.
Example:
 When two billiard balls collide, their total momentum before and after the
collision remains the same.
Q: Describe the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions, providing
examples of each.
Elastic vs. Inelastic Collisions:
Elastic Collision: Inelastic Collision:
 Kinetic energy and momentum  Kinetic energy is not conserved;
are conserved. some energy is lost.
 No loss of energy.

Q: Discuss the role of friction in everyday life and its impact on various
activities.
Ans:
Role of friction in everyday life:
 Friction is essential in everyday life as it helps us walk, grip objects, and stop
vehicles.
 It also allows us to write, use tools, and operate machinery.
Impact of friction in everyday life:
 Friction can also cause wear and tear on surfaces, increase energy
consumption in machines, and sometimes make tasks more challenging.
Q: How does the coefficient of friction affect the amount of friction between two
surfaces?
Ans:
Coefficient of friction effect:
 The coefficient of friction quantifies the relationship between the force needed
to overcome friction and the force pressing the surfaces together.
 A higher coefficient of friction means more force is required to move the
surfaces against each other, while a lower coefficient means less force is
needed.
Q: Explain the concept of "work" in the context of friction and give examples.

 Work is done when a force moves an object over a distance.

 In the context of friction, work is done against the frictional force when two
surfaces slide past each other.
 For example, pushing a box along the floor requires work against the friction
between the box and the floor.
Q: What are some real-life examples where reducing friction is beneficial, and
how is this achieved?
Examples include lubricating moving parts of machinery to reduce wear,
polishing surfaces to make them smoother, and using low-friction materials in
manufacturing. These methods decrease the amount of force needed to
overcome friction, making tasks easier and more efficient.
Q: Describe the factors that affect the coefficient of friction between two
surfaces.
Ans:
Factors that affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces:
 Factors include the roughness of the surfaces, the materials involved, the
presence of lubricants or contaminants, and the normal force pressing the
surfaces together.
 Rougher surfaces generally have higher coefficients of friction.
Q: Explain the principle of conservation of energy and how it applies to
frictional forces.
Ans:
Conservation of energy and its application in frictional forces.
 The conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed,
only transformed from one form to another.
 In the case of frictional forces, kinetic energy is often converted into heat
energy due to the resistance between surfaces sliding past each other.

 Friction can both help and hinder the efficiency of machines.

 While some friction is necessary for traction and grip, excessive friction can
lead to energy losses, increased wear and tear, and reduced efficiency.
 Engineers often work to minimize friction in mechanical systems to improve
performance.
Q: Describe the role of friction in preventing slipping and sliding.
Ans:
Role of friction in preventing slipping and sliding:
 Friction provides the necessary force to prevent slipping and sliding between
surfaces in contact.
 For example, the friction between shoes and the ground keeps us from slipping
while walking, and the friction between tires and the road helps vehicles
maintain traction.
Q: How do different surfaces affect the coefficient of friction between them?
Ans:
Different surfaces affect the coefficient of friction:
 The roughness, texture, and materials of surfaces significantly influence the
coefficient of friction between them.
 Smoother surfaces typically have lower coefficients of friction, while rougher
surfaces have higher coefficients.
Q: Discuss the impact of surface roughness on the magnitude of frictional
forces.
Ans:
Magnitude of frictional forces:
 Rougher surfaces create more contact points between two objects, increasing
the frictional force required to move them against each other.
 Smooth surfaces have fewer contact points and thus lower frictional forces.
Q: Explain the concept of "rolling resistance" and its implications in vehicle
design.

Rolling resistance:
 Rolling resistance is the force that opposes the rolling motion of a wheel or
object on a surface.
 It is primarily caused by deformation of the tire and surface, as well as friction
between them.
Implications:
 Minimizing rolling resistance is essential in vehicle design to improve fuel
efficiency and performance.
Q: Describe how lubricants work to reduce friction between moving parts.
Ans:
Importance of Lubricants:
 Lubricants create a thin film between moving surfaces, reducing direct contact
and minimizing friction.
 They also help dissipate heat and prevent wear and corrosion, extending the
lifespan of machinery and equipment.
Q: Discuss the relationship between friction and heat generation in mechanical
systems.
Ans:
Relationship between friction and heat generation in mechanical systems:
 Friction between moving parts converts mechanical energy into heat energy,
resulting in the generation of heat.
 This phenomenon is often observed in machinery and engines where frictional
forces can lead to overheating if not properly managed.

 The coefficient of friction can change with temperature and surface conditions
due to factors such as thermal expansion, changes in surface roughness, and
variations in material properties.
 In general, friction tends to increase with temperature and roughness.
Q: Explain the concept of "static frictional force" and provide examples from
daily life.
Ans:
Static frictional force:
 Static frictional force is the force that prevents two stationary objects from
sliding past each other when a force is applied.
 An example is pushing a heavy box on the floor, where static friction keeps
the box stationary until enough force is applied to overcome it.
Q: Describe the differences between static and kinetic frictional forces.
Ans:
Differences between static and kinetic frictional forces:
 Static frictional force occurs between stationary objects, preventing motion,
while kinetic frictional force occurs between moving objects, opposing their
motion.
 Additionally, static frictional force can vary in magnitude before motion
occurs, while kinetic frictional force remains relatively constant during
motion.
Q: Discuss the factors that affect the stability of an object in motion due to
friction.
Ans:
Factors that affect the stability of an object in motion due to friction:
 Factors include the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface,
the distribution of weight and pressure, the speed and direction of motion, and
the presence of external forces or disturbances.
