With a car at rest, mark the position of the stationary pendulum bob on the

table under it, with the

car in motion
a) If the bob remains over the mark only when the car is moving in a straight
line at a constant
speed. (inertial frame of reference)
b) If the car is gaining or losing the speed or is negotiating a bend, the bob
moves from its mark
and the car is a non-inertial frame.
42. If you put a ball at rest on a rotating merry-go round, no identifiable force
acts on the ball but it
does not remain at rest, it is non - inertial reference frame.
43. Newtons third law : For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

44. Newtons first and third laws are only special cases of second law.
45. Thrust is the total force applied on a given area. It is measured as the product
of pressure and the
area on which the pressure is applied.
46. In nature forces always occur in pairs (action and reaction)
47. When a body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts a force
on the first body of the
same magnitude but in opposite direction.
48. If we tie one end of a string to any point of a body and pull at the other end of
the string, we exert a
force on the body. Such a force exerted by means of a string is called tension.
49. When two objects are connected by an inextensible massless string passing
over a smooth pulley or
peg, then (i) both will have the same acceleration and ii) the tension is the same
on both the sides
of the pulley.
50. Motion on a smooth inclined plane :
(i) a = gsin
(ii) final velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane
v = 2gL sin = 2gh
(iii) time taken to reach the bottom
