6. Laws of Motion GLIMPSES Force. It may be defined as an agency (a push or pull) which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion or the direction of motion of a body. Force is a vector quantity. Inertia. It is the inherent property of a material body by virtue of which it cannot change, by itself, its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. Inertia is of three types (i) inertia. of rest i inertia of motion and (ii) inertia of direction. Mass as the measure of inertia. If body has more mass, it has more inertia ic, it is more difficult to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. Momentum. It is the quantity of motion in a body. It is equal to the product of mass m and velocity » of the body. Momentum, =m orp Momentum isa vector quantity having the direction of velocity 7". Its SI unit is kg ms”! and CGS unit ingems'. Newton's first law of motion. It states that every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line, unless an external force is applied to change that state. This law defines force. Newton's second law of motion. It states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and the change in ‘momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force. This law gives a measure of the force. Mathematically, ve | ! 10. (i) When mis constant and v changes, Fem@ at (ii) When v is constant and m changes, In component form, Newton's second law may be expressed as Fw ts aE Newton's third law of motion. It states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Mathematically, F, BAT Fun Forces of action and reaction never cancel out because they act on different bodies, Absolute units of force. The SI unit of force is newton (N) and CGS unit is dyne (dyn). Gravitational units of force. The SI unit of force is Kilogram weight (kg, wt) o kilogram force (kg) and the CGS unit is gran weight (g wt) or gram force (gf). 1kg wt = 1kg f = 1kg «9.8 ms"? =9.8N 1g wt = 1g f= 1g x980cms"? = 980dvn Impulse of a force. Impulse is the total effect of a large force which acts for a short time to produce a finite change in momentum. It is defined as the product of the force and the time for which it acts and equal to the total change in momentum. Impulse = Force x time duration = Total change in momentum. 5.92_ PHYSICS-XI Prac Impulse is a vector quantity, denoted by | Tef Pea 4 = Area under the force-time (FN) graph, = mat i) or Te Beta The St unit of impulse unit is dyn s or gems! 11, Apparent weight of body in a lift.

Concurrent forces. The forces acting at the same point of a body are called concurrent forces. 18. Equilibrium of concurrent forces. A number of concurrent forces acting on a body are said to be in equilibrium if their vector sum is zero or if these forces can be completely represented by the sides of a closed polygon taken in the same order.
