Q.1 Define motion and rest.
MOTION
If a body is changing its position with respect to its surroundings then the body is said to be in
motion.
REST
If a body is not changing its position with respect to some observer then the body is said to be atMOTION AND FORCE 84
Q.2 Define displacement and distance.
DISPLACEMENT
The displacement is a change in the position of body from its initial position to its final position,
or the shortest distance between two points is called displacement.
The displacement can be represented as a vector that describes how far and in what direction the
body has been displaced from its initial position. The tail of displac is located at the
position where the displacement started and its tip is located at final position where displacement ended.
If a body is moving along a curve as shown with A as its initial position and B as its final position then
ax
the displacement d of the body is represented by AB
If 7} is position vector of A and T> that of B then by head to tail
rule
ned = 72
@ = 7-7
It is a vector quantity and its ST unit is metre (m).
Distance
It is the separation between the two points. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is metre (m).
Q.3 Define velocity and types of velocity.
VELOCITY
The rate of change of displacement is known as velocity. Its direction is along the direction of
=
displacement. So if d is the total displacement of the body in time t, then its average velocity during the
interval t is defines as
Itis a vector quantity and SI unit is m/s.

Types of Velocity
There are three types of velocity:
(i) Uniform velocity (ii) Variable velocity (iii) Instantaneous velocity[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE
(i) Uniform Velocity
If a body covers equal displacements in equal interval of times, however small may be interval
the velocity is said to be uniform velocity.
(ii) Variable Velocity
If a body covers equal displacement in unequal interval of times however small may be the
interval then it is said to be variable velocity. And its motion is non-uniform.
(iii) Instantaneous Velocity
Velocity of a body at any instant is called instantaneous velocity. (OR) The instantaneous velocity is

also defined as the limiting value of “At
as the time interval At following the time At approaches to zero.

Note: If the instantaneous velocity does not change the body is said to be moving with uniform velocity.
Q.4 Define acceleration with its units.

Typical Speeds
The time rate of change of velocity of a body is Speed, ms" Motion
called acceleration. As velocity is a vector so any change
in velocity may be due to change in its magnitude or 300.000 000 Light, radio waves, x-rays,

Note: For a body moving with uniform acceleration, its average acceleration is equal to the

Q.5 Explain velocity-time graph.
VELOCITY-TIME GRAPH
Graphs which show the variation of velocity of an object with time are called velocity-time
graphs. In such graphs, the time is taken along positive x-axis because it is the independent quantity.
When velocity of car is constant
When velocity of car is constant, its velocity-time graph
is a horizontal straight line as shown in Fig. (i).
As the distance covered by the object is
Ss =v
This distance moved by an object can also be found by
using its velocity-time graph by calculating area under this graph.
This area is shown shaded in Fig. (i). Cs
As it is a rectangle Fig. (i)
Area under the graph = Height x Width
HxW = vt
A = vt
Hence distance covered = Area under V—t graph.
When car moves with constant accelerationMOTION AND FORCE of
When the car moves with constant acceleration, the
velocity-time graph is a straight line which rises the same height
for equal intervals of time as shown in Fig. (ii).
Here the velocity of the object increased uniformly from

Hence distance covered = area under V-t graph
“In this case average acceleration of an object can be found by finding the slope of its velocity
time graph”.
Note: The area between the velocity-time graph and the time-axis is numerically equal to the distance
covered by the object.

REVIEW OF EQUATIONS OF UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
Suppose an object is moving with uniform acceleration ‘a’ along a straight line. If initial
velocity of the object is ‘Vi’ and final velocity ‘V;’ after a time interval t. And ‘S’ is distance
covered then we have
Ve Vj + at .)MOTION AND FORCE
Ss = ae)
S =Vittza® (3)
Vi =Vit2aS ae (4)
8S
These equations are useful only for linear motion with uniform acceleration.
When the object moves along the straight line, the direction of motion does not change. In this
case all the vector can be manipulated like scalars. In such problems the direction of initial is taken as
positive. A negative sign is assigned to quantities where direction is opposite to that of initial velocity.
In the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of earth, moves towards the earth
with a uniform acceleration. This acceleration, is known as acceleration due to gravity. It is denoted by
“g’. Its average value near the earth surface is taken as 9.8 ms ~ in the down ward direction.
Note: The equations for uniformly accelerated motion can also be applied to free fall motion of the
objects by replacing ‘a’ by ‘g’.
Q.6 State and explain Newton’s laws of motion.
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
Newton’s laws are empirical laws deduced from experiments.
They were clearly stated for the 1" time by Sir Isaac Newton who
published them in 1687 in his famous book called “Principia”.
Newton’s laws are applicable only for speed which is negligible
compared to speed of light. For very fast moving objects, such as
atomic particle in an accelerator, relativistic mechanics developed by
Einstein is applicable.
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
A body at rest will remain at rest and a body moving with
uniform velocity will continue to do so, unless acted upon by some
unbalanced external force. This is also known as Law of “Inertia”.
Inertia
The property of an object tending to maintain to the state of
rest or state of uniform motion is known as object’s inertia. The mass
of the object is a quantitative measure of its inertia.
Frame of Reference
The space bounded by three mutually perpendicular lines is
known as frame of reference. There are two types:
(i) Inertial frame of reference
The frame of reference in which Newton’s laws of motions
holds is known as inertial frame of reference. It is non—
accelerated frame of reference.

Non-inertial frame of reference DOR Cc ie
A frame of reference in which Newton’s laws of motions does
not hold is known as non-inertial frame of reference. It is
accelerated frame of reference.
e.g., A frame of reference stationed on earth is approximately
an inertial frame of reference.
NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION
A force applied on a body produces acceleration in its own
direction. The acceleration produced is directly proportional with the
applied force and inversely proportional with the mass of the body.
Mathematically, it is expressed as

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW OF MOTION
Action and reaction are equal but in opposite direction.
ede
For example, whenever an interaction occurs between two objects, each object exerts the same
force on the other, but in the opposite direction and for the same length of time. Each force in action-
reaction pair acts only on one of the two bodies, the action and reaction forces never act on the same
body.
Q.7 What is the linear momentum? Also define its units.[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE
MOMENTUM (LINEAR MOMENTUM)
It is defined as the “the product of mass and velocity of the object.”
Itis denoted by “P”.

Hence second law of motion in term of momentum can also be stated as “the time rate of change
of momentum of a body equals the applied force.”
Q.9 Define impulse and show that it is change in momentum.MOTION AND FORCE
IMPULSE
When a very large force acts on a body for a very short interval
of time the momentum of the body changes. The product of such a
force and time is called the impulse. It is denoted by I and it is a vector
quantity.

Q.10 State and explain law of conservation of linear momentum.
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM
Isolated System
It is a system on which no external agency exerts any force. e.g., The molecules of a gas
enclosed in a glass vessel at constant temperature constitute an isolated system. The molecules can
collide with one another because of their random motion but, no external force can exert on them.
Statement
This law states that the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE 33

which means that total initial momentum of the system before collision
is equal to the final momentum of the system after collision
Consequently the total change in momentum of the isolated two ball
system is zero.[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE

lany collision to prevent serious|
injury.
When two or more object come close enough so that there is some sort of interaction between
them, with or without the presence of external force, we say a collision has been taken place between the
objects.
There are two types of collision:
1. Head-on collision, such a collision in which after collision balls move in same direction as
they move before collision.
2. Oblique collision (direction of balls changes after collision).
Elastic Collision
In the ideal case when no K.E is lost, the collision is
iid to be perfectly elastic.
For example, when a hard ball is dropped on to a marble floor, it rebounds to very nearly the
initial height. It loses negligible amount of energy in the collision with the floor.
Inelastic Colli
ion
A collision in which the Kinetic Energy of the system is not conserved is called Inelastic
Collision.
When two tennis balls collide then after collision, they will rebound with velocities less than the
velocities before the impact. During this process, a portion of K.E. is lost, partly due to friction as the
molecules in the ball move past one another when the balls distort and partly due to its change into heat
and sound energies.
Note: Momentum and total energy are conserved in all types of collisions.MOTION AND FORCE

Before collision (Vi:—V2) is the velocity of first ball relative to second ball. Similarly
Wi Vi) is the velocity of second ball relative to first ball after collision. It means that relative
velocities before and after the collision has the same magnitude but are reversed after the collision. In
other words, the magnitude of relative velocity of approach is equal to the magnitude of relative velocity
of separation. i.e.,
{ Magnitude of relativ } { Magnitude of relative |

What is the ference between uniform and variable velocity. From the explanation of
variable velocity, define acceleration. Give SI units of velocity and acceleration.
Uniform Velocity: The velocity of a body is said to be uniform if it covers equal displacement
in equal interval of time.
Variable Velocity: The velocity of a body is said to be variable if it covers unequal
displacement in unequal interval of time.
Acceleration: From the variable velocity, the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.

An object is thrown vertically upward. Discuss the sign of acceleration due to gravity,
relative to velocity, while the object is in air.
When an object is thrown vertically upward, the sign of acceleration due to gravity is negative
relative to velocity. But when the object is thrown downward, the sign of acceleration due to
gravity is taken as positive because velocity and acceleration are in same direction.
Can the velocity of an object reverse direction when acceleration is constant? If so, give an
example.
Yes, the velocity of an object can reverse its direction when acceleration is constant.
Example: When an object is thrown vertically upward then during upward motion its velocity
decreases, the direction of velocity will be in upward while direction of acceleration due to
gravity will be in downward and when it reach at the highest point its velocity become zero but
during downward of object the direction of velocity will be in downward while direction of
leration due to gravity will again in downward thus we see that in this case the velocity
reverse the direction while acceleration is constant.
Specify the correct statements:
(a) An object can have a constant velocity even its speed is changing.
(b) An object can have a constant speed even its velocity is changing.
(©) An object can have a zero velocity even its acceleration is not zero.

(a) It is false statement because an object cannot have a constant velocity even its speed is

(b) _Itis true when the object is moving along a circular path.
(c) _Itis true because when an object is thrown vertically upward, at maximum height, velocity
is zero but acceleration is not zero, it is a= g.
(d) _Itis true. Yes an object subjected to a constant acceleration can reverse its velocity.
A man standing on the top of a tower throws a ball straight up with initial velocity v; and at
the same time throws a second ball straight downward with the same speed. Which ball
will have larger speed when it strikes the ground? Ignore air friction.
Both the balls have the same speed on striking the ground but time is different. When the
velocity of the ball thrown upward with initial velocity v;, it will has same velocity v; when it
retum back and passes the man so as the initial velocities of a ball is same for both cases,
therefore the final velocities will also be same.
Explain the circumstances in which the velocity “v” and acceleration “a” of a car are:
@ Parallel (ii) Anti-parallel
Perpendicular to one another (iv) “Vv” is zero but “a” is not
(vy) “a” is zero but “v” is not zero
Following are the circumstances when velocity and acceleration of car:
() Parallel: When the velocity of a car is increasing along a straight path
then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.
Anti-parallel: When the velocity of car is decreasing along the straight
line then velocity and acceleration are anti-parallel to each other.
Perpendicular to one another: The velocity and acceleration of a car
are perpendicular to each other when the car is moving along a circular
path.
(iv) v is zero but a is not zero: The velocity of a car becomes to zero when the brakes are
applied and the car comes to rest due to acceleration in opposite direction.
(vy) ais zero but v is not zero: Acceleration is zero when the car is moving with uniform
acceleration.

statement true? Discuss.
is a special case of motion with constant acceleration. Is this
Yes, the motion with constant velocity is a special case of motion with constant acceleration.
This statement is true.
Explanation: we know that when a body moves with constant velocity then its acceleration will
be zero i.e., there is no rate of change of velocity so whenever it moves with constant velocity its
acceleration will remain zero that is constant here zero is also a constant quantity. Therefore
motion with constant velocity is a special case of motion with constant acceleration.[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE 119

Newton’s Second Law of Motion in Terms of Momentum: Newton's second law of motion in
terms of momentum states, “the rate of change of momentum is equal to applied force”.
Define i
Impulse: When a very large force acts on a body for a very short interval of time then the
product of such a force and time is called impulse. It is a vector quantity
pulse and show that how it is related to linear momentum?
Impulse = 1 = Force x Time
I = FxAt
As we know that
FxAt = mVp—mv;
So T= mvp-my;
TY = mav
Y= AB = Change in momentum
This shows that impulse is equal to change in momentum.
State the law of conservation of linear momentum, pointing out the importance of isolated
system. Explain, why under certain conditions, the law is useful even though the system is
not completely isolated?
Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum: This law states that the total linear momentum of
an isolated system remains constant.
Importance of an Isolated System: This law holds good only for isolated system. An isolated
system is one at which there is no external force acting. If the system is not isolated but the
external forces are very small as compared to interacting forces so this law can also be applied
on such a system.[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE 116

Explain the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. Explain how would a
bouncing ball behave in each case? Give plausible reasons for the fact that K.E is not
conserved in most cases?
Elastic Collision: These collision in which kinetic energy remains constant is called elastic
collisions,
Inelastic Collision: These collision in which kinetic energy does not remain constant is called
inelastic collisions.
In Case of Bouncing Ball: If the ideal bouncing ball returns to the same height where it is
dropped then the collision is elastic collision. If the bouncing ball will not returned to the same
height then the collision is inelastic. So due to change of energy, kinetic energy does not remain
constant.
For example; when a heavy ball is dropped on to the surface of earth, it rebounds upto very little
height because maximum K.E is lost due to friction and also changes into heat and sound
energies. So in most cases, the K.E is not conserved. Thus momentum and K.E are conserved in
all types of collisions. However the K.E is conserved only in elastic collision
Explain what is meant by projectile motion. Derive expressions for
(a) The time of flight (b) The range of projectile.
Show that the range of projectile is maximum when projectile is thrown at an angle of 45°
with the horizontal.
Projectile Motion: When an object is thrown in air making a certain angle with horizontal, so
that object moves under the action of gravity and moves along a curved path, is called as
“projectile”. Its motion is called “projectile motion”. Its path is called trajectory. Its path is
parabolic. (OR) Projectile motion is two dimensional motion under constant acceleration due to
gravity.
The body thrown is called projectile and the curved path followed by it is called trajectory.
Examples:
1. Motion of football kicked off by a player.
2. A ball thrown by a cricketer.
3. Missile fired from launching pad.
Consider a body thrown in horizontal direction with horizontal
velocity Vx from point A having vertical height 'y’. In the absence
of horizontal force, the horizontal components Vv, remain
constant all along the motion. If the body hits at point 'C’ the
horizontal distance 'x’ covered by the body is given by
x = Vt
Where 't is the time taken by body to move from A to C.
The body not only covers distance in forward direction but also moves down under the action of
gravity. The downward vertical velocity of body under the action of gravity goes on increasing
continuously. This vertical motion is same as for freely falling body. The distance covered by
body in downward direction is AB = y and is given by
1
S = y = Vittpat”[CHAPTER 3] MOTION AND FORCE AW
As the ball at 'A' has only the horizontal velocity so
Vi (initial vertical velocity) = 0 and a = g
lie
So y = 328
1
y = 728
Time of Flight of Projectile: The time taken by body to cover the distance from place of
projection to the place where it hits the ground, is called time of flight of projectile. The time of
flight can be calculated by using 2" equation of motion:
le
S = vittzat

So the range of projectile is maximum when projectile is thrown at an angle of 45° with the
horizontal.
At what point or points in its path does a projectile have its minimum speed, its maximum
speed?
The speed of the projectile is maximum at the point of projection and also at the point where it
hits the ground. While the speed of projectile is minimum when it reaches the maximum height.
