– First Law of Motion: An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force. This is also known as the law of inertia【4:0†source】.
– Second Law of Motion: The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of force, expressed as F = ma【4:4†source】.
– Momentum: The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, having the same direction as that of the velocity. Its SI unit is kg m s^-1. Momentum has both direction and magnitude .
– Third Law of Motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and they act on two different bodies. Action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction .
Define the momentum of an object. What is its SI unit?
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, having the same direction as the velocity. Its SI unit is kg m s−1.
Explain why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.
It is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope to prevent it from falling off due to inertia while the bus is in motion.
Why does a cricket ball slow down and come to rest after being hit by a batsman and rolling on a level ground?
The ball slows down and comes to rest because there is a force opposing the motion of the ball, leading to a net unbalanced force that causes the ball to stop.
A stone is thrown across a frozen surface of a lake and comes to rest after traveling a distance. What force causes the stone to stop?
The force of friction between the stone and the ice causes the stone to come to a stop after it is thrown.
Calculate the acceleration and the force acting on a truck rolling down a hill if it covers a distance of 400 m in 20 s with a mass of 7 tonnes.
The acceleration of the truck can be calculated using the formula of motion. The force acting on it can be determined by multiplying the acceleration by the mass of the truck.
