Thus speed of a body is the rate of change of its position. It is a scalar quantity and its 5.1. unit is ms~!. Average Velocity : The average velocity of a body is defined as total displacement of the body upon total elapsed time. ity _ Total displacement Thus Average Velocity = “Spo FF “oment Instantaneous Velocity : If a body moves in such a way that its average velocity measured for a number of different time intervals does not turn out to be constant and the body is said to be moving with variable velocity, then the velocity of the body at any given instant of time is called instantaneous velocity and it is expressed as Acceleration ; The rate of change of velocity of the body is called acceleration of the body. If the velocity changes uniformly at equal interval of time, then acceleration is said to be uniform acceleration. If the velocity of a body increases with time then the body is said to be accelerated and conversely if velocity decreases with time then the body is said to be retarded or deaccelerated.

Here a unique physical phenomenon occurs. As the body starts its motion there is no acceleration in its horizontal direction, but the vertical direction there is a constant acceleration (acceleration due to =e gravity). Thus, in the projectile motion the body describes its horizontal motion with constant velocity and its vertical motion with constant acceleration.

That's why every projectile traces out a parabolic trajectory (path). ; ~diewton’s Laws of Motion : Firstly in 1687 Sir Isaac Newton, is great mathematician of his timé, propounded the laws of motion in his Book Principia. There are three laws of motion. First Law (Law of In uniform motion ina straight li force is applied to it. This is Newton’ lled ines. tein in the original initial state ON.

By running for a while he gains inertia of motion which helps pim take a longer jump. (iv) While alighting from a slowly moving train one must run for a short while in the direction of the moving train and then let off the train. When you set your foot on the ground, the lower part of your body comes to rest instantaneously but the upper part of the body continues to move an the direction of the train. Due to relative displacement you are liable to fall forward and hurt yourself. If you ran for a short while all the parts ‘of the body will be in the same state and hence there will be no relative Gisplacement of the different parts of the body. Second Law (Law of Measurement of Force) : The rate of change of inear momentum (p = mv) of a body is proportional to the force applied and it takes place in the direction of the force. ie] F « dp _ ,d(mv) D on, Fake) — on A rene mass m is 6 nt) Where, k = proportionality constant = ka (as a ~ 4 ~ acceleration) If the proportionality constant k =1 then F = ma. =» Force = mass x acceleration. IfF =ma=m e =0, then no acceleration would be produced. If the acceleration of the body is zero (a = @ = 0) then the body will move either with a constant velocity or be in a position of rest. This implies that in the absence of an external force the body either moves with constant velocity or comes to rest. This also concludes that in the absence of an external force the inertia of a body is conserved. ‘Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction): To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction act on different bodies. Stace their les of action are different, the resultant force is not zero, This is Newton's Third law of motion. Examples : (i) A rocket whose mass decreases continuously due to ejected mass in the form of gases during its forward motion. Gi) During firing of a bullet the gun recoils back with a great force. (iii) To drive water boat forward the bamboo stick is pressed into the land of water. (iv) During pulling water from the wel the man falls behind the well. Units of Force : The S.1. Unit of force is Newton. Forces are defined by Newton’s first law of motion and measured by ‘Newton’s second law of motion. 11 sometimes the rope breaks and Scanned by CamScanner wisionias.net ~~ if m=1kg anda =1 ton’s second law F = ma, Here if m = 1 kg mae weer en F =1N. Thus 1 Newton is the force required to Produce ¥ acceleration of 1 ms” ina body, of mo a ke O ayne CGS unit of force is Dyne and 1N = / aa uunit of force is kg-wt which is also used for Gravitation, kg-wt is the force required resulting from the acceleration of Btavity on the body of 1 kg mass. Thus by Newton's second law, Force due to Bravity — ' mass * acceleration due to gravity. The force of gravity acting ona body ig the weight of the pelo weight (W) = mg. . . } tee the value of g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.8 ms-2 Thus, 1 kg.weight = 1 kg * 9.8 ms?=9.8 kg.ms?=9.8 NN. Linear Momentum and Impulse: The product of the mass of a movin, object or body with its velocity (constant) is called Linear M. itis a vector quantity. . Thus momentum (p) = mass x velocity = ne. The S.1. unit of the linear momentum is kg.ms* Ifany external force is operative on an object ora body for, a very short span of time, then the product of this external force and the time is called Impulse and the force is called Impulsive Force. Thus Impulse (J) = Force x time interval lomentum and a > IHF Atm Fate ap => J =Ap=change in linear momentum. Thus impulseis also defined as change in the Jinear momentum of the body for a short Span of time. The s. Unit of the impulse is that of linear momentum and given by kg.mst > Examples of the linear momentum and the impulse (i) Cricket players while taking a catch move their hands in the direction of the motion of the ball t avait maximum injuries and for minimum hurt. Gi) In heavy and light vehicles springs and shock observers are installed to avoid exertion and for comfertal Gi) To hit nail in depth, a heavy hammer is used, Law of conservation of linear momentum The linear momentum fonservationis the outcome ot and third Jaw ef motion. Unde: r the mutual more bodies, free from external forces, thi f Newton's second action and reaction of two or '¢ algebraic sum of the linear jnomenta of the bodies in any assigned direction remains conserved. Thus, in general, if no external force is cperative ona system of particles or bodies under the mutual action and. feaclion of the particles, the Momentum of the system in any direction remains conserved. This is the law of conservation Of linear momentum, ple (i) When a shot is fired, the cannon recoils. ‘This is an example of the law of conservation of momentum, Here the system (Shot + Cannon) is at rest with respect to reference frame fixed to the earth When a shot is Scanned by CamScanner _ Www vWisionias-net fired with a velocity say v, it gains-a certain vel ' locity, say V and by the conservation law the cannon must also acquire Mateos velocity the opposite direction so that the algebraic sum of the momenta becomes zero. iim and M be the masses of shot and cannon, then by conservation law of linear Momentum; mv+MV=0 on V=— M —ve sign indicates that V must be necessarily 0} ite to v. This velocity of the cannon is called the velocity of recoil. Eis ¥ Gi) In the process of collisions, elastic or inelastic the total linear momentum before collision is equal to the total linear momentum after collision. Thus, total linear momentum of the system of colliding particles is conserved. If m, and m, the two masses of colliding particles, u, and u, are the velocities of the respective particles before collision and v, and v, are the velocities of the particles after collision. ‘Then by the law of conservation of linear momentum Total linear momenta before collision =m, u,+ tty My Total linear momenta after collision = m, v,+ ni, V, Thus m, 0, +m, u. ny Dy +m, Dy Elastic and Inelastic collision : When two particles or bodies directly strike (collide) in such a way that the total kinetic energy and the total near momentum of the colliding particles during the collisions remain ‘constant (conserved) then itis called elasticcollision. If the relative velocity oF separation and approach is equal for the two colliding particles, then the collision is said to be perfectly elasticand the particles of equal masses mutually exchange their velocities to each other after the collision, But when two particles or bodies collide in such a way that the total linear momenta of the colliding particles or bodies remain constant or conserved but the total kinetic energy of the colliding particles system is not constant (conserved) then itis called inelastic collision. Rocket Motion (A system of variable mass) : The basic principle on which Rocket motion occurs or a Rocket is propelled is the Newton's third Jaw of motion and the law of conservation of linear momentum. A typical example of variable mass system is that of a rocket motion from which hot gases keep on escaping, thereby continuously decreasing its mass. A rocket may use either a liquid or a solid fuel. In the former case the fuel (like liquid H, or liquid paraffin) and a suitable oxidizer (like O,, H,O, or HNO,), stored up in separate chamber are injected into a combustion chamber where the fuel is burnt. In the latter case, the fuel itself carries its own oxidizer and hence a separate chamber is not needed. In both cases large quantity of the heat of combustion is produced, which largely raises the internal pressure and temperature of the chamber and burnt up gases (like CO, steam etc) are pumped out from an orifice at the back or the tail end of the rocket in the form of a high velocity stream called the jet. Consequently the rocket is propelled forward (opposite to the direction of the jet). Here the momentum lost by the jet of the fuel gases must be equal to the momentum gained by the rocket.

Since the value of Gravitational 3) measured in Torsion balance by Cavendish was very smallonly Nov.kg, gravitational force for smaller bodies is negligible and can not be realized Weak Force : The concept of weak force came into existence firstly in Yukawa’s meson theory when explanation of f|—decay was propounded. In the atomic nucleus, electron emission (f — particle decay) takes place spontaneously during the conversion of neutron into a proton by ejecting ammeson. This x meson decays almost instantly into an electron (e-) and an anti neutrino (¥). Thus: n (neutron) + p (proton) + x! (n-meson) -* p (proton) + © (electron) decay + ¥ (anti neutrino) Here neutron is converted into proton by the exchange of x-meson and consequently interaction between electron (f-decay) and antineutrino is due to weak interaction. (iii) Electromagnetic Force : Electromagnetic force operates on all charged particles and provides atomic and molecular binding forces. Thus electromagnetic interactions are charge-dependent (attractive as well as repulsive). The electric and magnetic forces compose the electromagnetic force which acts by means of photon or quanta. If both el. etic forces exist, then it is called Lorentz’s force given by |F = qE + quB sint Where, Charge of the particle Ic = Electric field strength gas denege! Velocity of the charged particle B = Magnetic field intensity 0 = Angle between velocity and magnetic field (iv) Nuclear Force (Strong Force): Among all the forces found in nature, nuclear force is the Strongest force which basically exists within atomic fiaeleus between proton-proton, proton-neutron, and neutron-neutron within the range up to 10-™ meter. Experimental evidences OF the nuclear Phyeies observe that nuclear forces are primarily attractive, non-electrical, non-gravitational (not central forces), extremely strong but spin dependent and the magnitude of the force is same for proton-proton, proton-neutron and neutron-neutron. Explanation of the nuclear forces was given in detail by Yukawa’s Menson’s theory. Some scientists also assume that the nuclear forces originate through the mutual interaction of two quarks.

This happens because as the car turns, a centripetal force around the radius of curvature of the path is generated which is counter- batanced by the force of friction of the wheels of the car. But this centripetal force is not balanced by the man, so a shock is felt by the man which comes through the virtue of inertia. This is the required centrifugal force which acts outwardly. Gi) The person sitting in a merry-go-round realises an outer push tangentially due to the appearance of a centrifugal force. In the study of any physical phenomenon, the position of a system or body is made to be fixed and the distances of other bodies are measured called reference frames. It is of two types (i) Inertial (Non-accelerating) and (ii) Non-inertial (accelerating). Inertial frames are those in which inertia of any body remains conserved. Thus this frame is either in rest or in a uniform motion ina straight line i.e. no force, no acceleration concept exists. But if the force or the acceleration exists in a particular frame it is called non-inertial. Newton's laws of motion are applicable only in inertial frame of reference. Application Centrifuge : A device by means of which light particles and heavy particles are separated to each other. () Cream Separator : In a cream separator, a vessel containing milk is rotated fast. Being lighter the cream collects in a cylindrical layer around the axis, whence it is drawn off and the skimmed milk is drained through an outlet fitted on the wall of the vessel. The particles, whose density is less than that of the liquid, are driven towards the axis of rotation and those whose density is greater than that of the liquid are driven away from the axis. Cream is lighter than milk, so it is separated from milk and collected at the axis. (i) The Centrifugal Drier : In laundries wet clothes are dried by packing them in a cylindrical vessel with perforated walls which rotated with a very high speed. Water particles stick to the cloths with a certain force which is called adhesive force. The water particles are not sufficient to keep them moving uniformly in a circle. Torque or Moment of a force : The turning effect of a force about a point or a line is called the moment of force about that point or line which is called the axis of rotation.

Solid Spherical body Centre of the sphere Equilibrium of Bodies : When a body under the action of several forces neither moves in a straight line nor rotates around a point then it is said to be in equilibrium. Conditions for equilibrium ; (i) The vector sum of all forces acting on a body along any assigned direction for translational equilibrium must be zero. Thus no linear motion occurs. (ii) The algebraic sum of moments (torques) of all the forces acting on a body about any assigned point or line for rotational equilibrium must vanish (being zero). Thus no angular acceleration must exist. If three forces acting on a particle as shown in the figure are capable of being represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in order, they (force) produce an equilibrium. ‘Types of Equilibrium : There are three types of equilibrium (i) Stable equilibrium (ii) Unstable equilibrium (iii) Neutral equilibrium. (i) Stable equilibrium : When a body is in equilibrium in such a way that a slight displacement from this position produces a restoring force tending to return the body to the previous equilibrium, then body is said to be in stable equilibrium. In stable equilibrium the body possesses minimum potential energy. (ii) Unstable equilibrium : When a body is in an equilibrium in such a way that any displacement from this position produces a force tending to push the body farther from the equilibrium position, then it is said to be in unstable equilibrium. In this equilibrium position the body possesses maximum energy.

Gravitation Gravitation is the weakest interaction or force among all the four types of interactions existing in our Universe. Each and every body interacts (attracts) each other by virtue of its mass. This is called Gravitation. Newton's Law of Gravitation In our universe the force of interaction acting among any two bodies is directly proportional to the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. If m,, m, be the masses of two bodies at r distance then according, to “he Newton's law of gravitation Fam,m, Fat r - Pagal r where G is called Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10°" Nm?kg? Gravity : As in Newton’s law of gravitation the forces of interaction exist among any two bodies, but if in these two bodies one body is the Earth, then this gravitation is called gravity and by this force of gravity the Earth attracts everybody towards its centre. If a body is projected upwards freely, then due to the force of gravity it falls back. Acceleration due to gravity (g) : If a body is dropped freely and it executes a free falling motion, then as the body comes near the Earth’s surface then its velocity increases and the acceleration produced is called acceleration due to gravity. If m be the mass of any body describing a free falling motion then due to the presence of force of gravity the weight of the bo . where g = 9.8 ms or 32 ft = acceleration due to gravity (Near the earth’s surface) In SI unit ‘g’ is expressed in ms? or N. kg.

Planets and Satellites : Planets are the celestial bodies revolving around the elliptical orbits of the sun in our solar system. But the heavenly. bodies revolving around the planets are called satellites. The Earth is the planet of the sun and the moon is a satellite (natural) of the Earth. The planets and satellites draw their light and energy from the sun because the have no energy of their own, There are so many artificial satellites like. Geostationary satellites, Sputnik-l, Aryabhatta, Rohini and Apple which have been launched in various orbits of the earth. Various communica, satellites are orbiting around the Earth, oe ;{patnilc1 was the first artificial satellite launched in 1957 by Russian Orbital Velocity : If a bod it ly (say, te gevlee around another body (say, the Earth) thee ¢ velocit i i orbital vel age olution of the frst body is called Let m be the mass of a. satel i lite orbiti fe carl of fie pase M, with velocity oe Corbi ct : x) be the radius of the ext Centripetal 1 weight Belg Nees Scanned by CamScanner Obs the valv depend lesser ¥ the san Th 7.993 Pi satelli 1 ne Www vwisionias.net Physics 5 Le er im Tmussey ayy =e eG (: Now, if =0, Then v, will become the orbital velocity of the earth. Tho (een Bal eg VR Obviously from the expression of the orbital velocity of the satellite, the value of vg doesn’t depend upon the mass (m) of the satellite rather it depends on the height (h) of the satellite, and the larger the value of h the lesser would be the value of vg, But satellites having various masses with the same orbital radius have the same orbital velocity. The value of orbital velocity of the earth and a geostationary satellite is, 7.99 km/sec. (approx. 8 km/sec.) Period of revolution of a satellite : The time required in which the satellite completes one rotation is called the period of revolution (T). Thus the period of revolution (T) = Orbital velocity 3 2e(R +h) 2n(R,+h) Rok — 2n (K+)? % Rvs Rg 3 2n(R, +h)? g - Ra (* -84/xsi) Obviously, the period of revolution (1) of the satellite is independent of the mass of the satellite. Rather it depends on the height of the satellite from. the surface, and the more the height (h) the larger the period of revolution (1). The period of the revolution of the earth or a geostationary satellite is 84 minutes. Geostationary Satellite : A geostationary satellite is a communication satellite which revolves from west to east and whose period of revolution is 24 hrs equal to that of axial rotation of the earth (earth’s spin). Such satellites are stationary and are located at 36,000 km height from the earth’s surface. Geostationary satellites (Communication Satellites) transmit signals across larger distances by receiving these signals from one point on earth’s surface and reflecting them down to the another point. In order to provide a stationary target for the transmitted signals, these satellites must remain stationary at a point above the earth.
