1 Newton s Laws of Motion (10 Marks) Main points 1.Newton s first law of motion states that everybody continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless it is acted by an external force or it can also be stated as If external force on a body is zero, its acceleration is zero. 2.Momentum (p) of a body is the product of mass (m) and velocity (v): P=mv 3. Newton s Second law of motion : It states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which force acts. Thus F= k dp/dt= k ma The SI unit of force is: 1N= 1kgms -2 The second law is consistent with the First law (F=0 implies a=0) It is a vector equation It is applicable to a particle, and also to a body or a system of particles, provided F is the total external force on the system and a is the acceleration of the system as a whole. F at a point at a certain instant determines acceleration at the same point at that instant.acceleration at an instant does not depend on the history of motion Force is not always in the direction of motion.depending on the situation F may be along V, opposite to v, normal to v, or may make some other angle with v. In every case it is parallel to acceleration. If v=0 at an instant, i.e., if a body is momentarily at rest, it does not mean that force or acceleration are necessarily zero at that instant. For ex: When a ball thrown upward reaches its maximum height, but the force continues to be its weight mg and the acceleration is g the acceleration due to gravity. 4. Impulse is the product of force and time which equals change in momentum. The notion of impulse is useful when a large force acts for a short time to produce a measurable change in momentum. Since the time of action of the force is very short,one can assume that there is no appreciable change in the position of the body during the action of the impulsive force.

2 (i) Impulse = F X t = m (v- u) (ii) Unit of measurement of Impulse is Ns 5.Newton s third law of motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The law can be stated: Forces in nature always occur between pairs of bodies. Force on a body A by a body B is equal and opposite to the force on the body B by A. Action and reaction forces are simultaneous forces. There is no cause-effect relation between action and reaction. Any of the two mutual forces can be called action and the other reaction. Action and reaction can act on different bodies and so they cannot be cancelled out. The internal action and reaction forces between parts of a body do however sum to zero. The equation mg = R for a body on a table is true only if the body is in equilibrium. The two forces mg and R can be different. The equality of mg and R has no connection with the third law of motion. F AB = - F BA 6. Law of conservation of momentum: The total momentum of an isolated system of particles is conserved. This law follows from the second law of motion. 7. Friction Frictional force opposes relative motion between two surfaces in contact. It is the component of the contact force along the common tangent to the surface in contact. Static frictional force f s oppose impending relative motion: kinetic frictional force f k opposes actual relative motion. They are independent of the area of contact. They satisfy the following approximate laws: f s (f s ) max =μ s R f k = μ k R

Work is said to be done by a force when the force produces a displacement in the body on which it acts in any direction except perpendicular to the direction of force. 2. W = FS cosѳ 3. Unit of measurement Work done is Joule or Nm 4. Work done is a scalar quantity. 5. If a graph is constructed of the components FcosѲ of a variable force, then the work done by the force can be determined by measuring the area between the curve and the displacement axis. 6.

The Dimensional formula of Energy is same as Work and is given by ML 2 T The SI unit of Energy is same as that of Work. i.e., Joule.

7 10. The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of a body is the work done by the net force on the body. K f - K i =W net 11. Momentum of a body is related to Kinetic Energy by P = 2m E k 12. A force is said to be conservative if work done by or against the force in Movinga body depends only on the initial and final positions of the body not on the nature of the path followed between the initial and final positions. For ex: Gravitational Force,Elastic Force, Electrostatic Force etc. 13. A force is said to be non-conservative if work done by or against the force in moving a body depends upon the path between the initial and final positions. 14. For a conservative force in one dimension, we may define potential energy Function U(x) such that F(x) = -du(x)/dx x f Or U i -U f = F(x) dx x i 15. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of a body remains constant if the only forces that act on the body are conservative. 16.

It can be positive, negative or zero depending upon the value of the scalar product of the two vectors can be interpreted as the product of magnitude of one vector and the component of the other vector in the direction of the first vector. For unit vector I^.i^=j^.j^=k^.k^= 1 and i^.j^= j^.k^=k^.i^=0 24.For two bodies, the sum of the mutual forces exerted between them is zero from Newton s third law, F 12 + F 21 =0 But the sum of the work done by the two forces need not always cancel. i.e., W12 + W21 0 However, it may sometimes be true. 25.Elastic collision is a collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved 26. In inelastic collision momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved. 27.In a collision between two bodies the Coefficient of restitution can be defined as the ratio between the velocity of separation to the velocity of approach i.e. e = velocity of separation /velocity of approach If e = 1 then the collision is perfectly elastic, if e=0, then the collision is perfectly inelastic.
