Newton’s law of Motion

First Law of Motion:
            It states “A body remains at rest or continue to move with uniform velocity in a straight line, unless some unbalanced force acts upon it to change its state of rest or uniform motion”
Inertia:
            The property of a body to oppose any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion is called inertia. 
Newton’s Second Law of Motion:
“When a force is applied on a body, it produces acceleration in the body. The acceleration is in the direction of the force. The acceleration is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.”
            Mathematically  F=ma
Force:
            Force is an agent which when applied to a body changes or tends to change its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line.
Unit of force:
            In S.I system the unit of force is newton.
                                    F = ma
                                    1N= 1kg. 1m s-2It is defined as the force which produces an acceleration of 1m s-2 in a body of mass 1kg.
Inertial Mass:
            Mass is the quantity of matter in a body which remains constant every where in the universe.
            From Newton’s second law of motion   
Thus, mass determines the acceleration produced in a body. The larger the mass the smaller will be the acceleration for a fixed applied force
Newton’s Third Law of Motion:
            When two bodies interact the action is always equal and opposite to reaction.
            “To every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.”
            It means that action always acts on one body and reaction on the other body. That is why action and reaction never balanced each other.
            If two bodies A and B collide, the action of body A on B is force and reaction of B on A is force Then according to Newton’s third law of motion we can write

Mr chips important short questions.

Chapter#1 Question # 1:How does a person spend his time in old age after retirement? Answer : After retirement when a person becomes old, he has nothing to do. His time seems to pass like lazy cattle moving across a landscape(valley). Question # 2:Why did Chips keep on adjusting his timetable according to the school bells even after the retirement? Answer : After spending more than forty three(43) years at Brookfield, it was not possible for Chips to break his ties with school. He began to live across the road and Mrs. Wickets. That's why it was possible for Chips to keep on adjusting his timetable according to the school bells. Question # 3:How did Chips voice sound in old age? Answer : Although Chips had become old yet he did not loose the zeal and zeast for the life. So his voice remained resonant and lively even in his old age. Question # 4:What did Chips do before going to the bed? Answer : Chips was spending a pleasant and placid time at Mrs. Wickets after his retirem...

DISPLACMENT, DISTANCE, SPEED, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION

Displacement: Shortest distance between two points is called displacement                                                                OR The displacement is a change in the position of body form its initial position to final position Unit:  SI unit of displacement is metre (m)                    Dimension:             The dimension of displacement is [L] VELOCITY: The time rate of change of displacement is known as velocity. It is a vector quantity. Its direction is along the direction of displacement. Mathematically...

DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS (DEFINITION)

Sometimes the definition of some word is written and the students are asked to find the word whose definition has been given. Example: 1.  The chemist tried to produce _____ that could cure all the diseases.       A) symptom                                                    C) medicine                      B) injection                                                       D) panacea More Examples: 2.  John was a ________________ , who does not  believe that any t...
