Force and Laws of Motion THIS CHAPTER INCLUDES When we look around us at this fascineting, magnificent and immerse cosmos — look at the awesome planets moving around the sun in an orderly manner, phases of the moon, stars in a Constellation or movement of machinery parts in a factory ~ all of them are following certain laws. They are acted’ upon ‘by, certain forces. In order to understand this beauty, let us take a step forward by understanding ‘Force and Laws of Motion’ In this chapter. we shall study about force and its effects on the objects and Warious laws related to the motion of objects. FORCE AND ITS EFFECTS When we look around, and observe state of rest or motion of bodies, we find that nothing moves on its own, ‘When we push or pull a body ()Itmay change its state of rest or of uniform motion. (@) tt may change its direction of motion. (ii) It may change its shape. We say that we exert a force on a body if we push or pull it. This push or pull may be gentle or hard, so force has a magnitude. This push or pull may be in different directions, so force has a direction. It means force is @ vector quantity. Limited - Regd.

Let us try fo push a wall or a truck. Can we change is state of rest? We did apply effort but the body did not move. Fig. 2 Let us consider catching a moving cricket ball. The effort exerted on the ball by our hand brings it to rest. Can you think of an instance where you apply effort to stop a_moving body but don't succeed. Yes, trying to stop a truck or a train moving with great speed will not bring the body to rest. Fig. 3 : The effort exerted by/the hand on the ball decreases the speed to zero Let us consider 2 football player hitting a football. He succeeds in changing the direction of the ball. You can think of the instance, where you apply effort but don’t succeed in changing the direction of the body. Well, trying to change the direction of a fast moving truck as it;passes us by applying effort is useless. Fig. 4 You can change the shape of a spring by stretching or compressing it. Now, try to change the shape of a table by pressing it. cr | effort Fig. 5 Hence, we conclude that Force is an entity which when applied on a body changes or tends to change a body's (i) State of rest or uniform motion (ii) Direction of motion (ili) Shape and size (M) Speed Resultant Force When two or more forces act on a body simultaneously, then the single force which produces the same effect, ‘as produced by all the forces acting together is known as tho resultant force. Fy F, Fig. 6 Resultant force F = Vector sum of individual forces Balanced Force When a number of forces acting simuitaneously on a body do net bring about any change in its state of rest oF of uniform motion along a straight lino, then the forces acting on the body are said to be balanced forces. In this case different forces acting on’a body. gives zero resultant: Balanced forces do not produce any acceleration. For example — When two opposite forces having the same magnitlide F act, on a block placed on a smooth horizontal table, they fail to move the block. mae Fig. 7 This Is because the net force!is equal to Zero, Similaty, two opposite forces having the same magnitude cannot change the speed of a moving body. When a number of forces acting simultaneously on a body bring about a change in its state of rest or of Uniform motion along a straight lina, then these forces acting on the body are aid to be unbalanced forces. In this case, different forces acting on body do not give zero resultant. If an unbalanced force is applied on the object, there will be a change either in its speedivelocity or in the direction of its motion. Thus, to accelerate an object, an unbalanced force is required. When net force on the body is not equal to zero, then the body at rest starts moving in the direction of resultant force. 48 | Force and Laws of Motion Physics - Class IX (Level) System and External Force ‘A.system may consist of a single object (can be a particle), a combination of two or more objects. All parts of the system should have the same acceleration. Any force on the bodies inside the sysiem from bodies outside the system is called external force. Intemal forces (i.e, forces between two bodies inside the system) are not included. ‘Teachers’ remarks that changed the history of Physics. Archimedes : "You are late again.

He observed that when a marble rolls down an inclined plane, its velocity increases as the force of gravity acts in the downward direction i.e., along the direction of moton of the marble fig. 9(a). Its velocity decreases as it climbs up, because in thal case force of gravity acts opposite to the direction of motion fg. 9(b). Then he observed the motion of marble on a double frictionless inclined plane as shown in the fig. 9(c).. +s Fig. 8c) He observed, when the marble is released from left, it would roll down the slope and go up on the opposite side to the same height h from which it was released and if the inclinations of the planes on both sides are ‘equal then, the marble will climb the same distance that it Covared while roling down. If the angle of inclination of the right side plane were gradually cecreased, then the marble would travel further more and more distances til it reaches the same height. And ifthe right side plane were utimately made horizontal, the marble would continue to travel forever trying to reach the same height that it was released from. Hence, from his experiment he concluded that an unbalanced force is required to change the motion of the Newton further studied Galileo's ideas on force and motion and presented three fundamental laws that govern the motion of objects. These three laws are known as Newton's laws of motion. NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION [LAW OF INERTIA] Fact: If a body is at rest, it remains at rest if no unbalanced external force acts on it. Fact Il : Ifa body is moving at constant speed in a fixed direction, it will continue to do so if no unbalanced external force acts on it. Fact Ill : A body accelerates if an unbalanced external force acts on it ‘Aakash Educational Services Limited Office : Aakash Tower, 8, Fusa Road, New Dehi-110005 Ph.011-47623456 ED anata Piya Gas (Lavery Newton's first law A body will remain in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by some unbalanced external force to change that state of rest or of uniform motion. In simple words, if no unbalanced external force acts on a body at rest, it will remain at rest and if it is moving with uniform motion, it will continue to do so. Or, if the resultant force on a body is zero, it remains unaccelerated. RE (AOE meron Cee eioS Te Inertia Inertia is the tendency of a body 16’ maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion on its own or we can say that itis the inability of a body to change its state of rest or of uniform motion on its own. Inertia and mass : Consider two bodies of unequal masses, say a table tennis ball and a cricket ball. If both balls are pushed with equal force for the same time, a cricket ball will have much smaller velocity as compared. to the tennis ball. Cricket ball has resistance more than table tennis ball. Or, cricket ball hes larger inertia. than table tennis ball. So, we can generalise, a heavier body has a larger inertia than a lighter body. ‘Same is true for objects in motion also. If you have to stop a lighter body and a heavy body moving with equal velocities, you may stop the lighter body with your hands (depending on its velocity), while the heavier one may slow down only a litte (depending on its velocity). Larger the mass, larger is the inertia. Hence, we may say mass is a measure of inertia Example 2: Explain why a bullet fired against a glass windowpane makes a hole, without making any crack in it Solution : Initially, the entire glass is in the state of rest. When a bullet strikes the glass pane, the part of the glass. pane which comes in contact with the bullet immediately shares the large velocity of the bullet and flies away making a hole. The remaining part of the glass, remains at rest and is not cracked. ‘Aakash Educational Services Limited - Regd.

Solution : Because it may slide and fall due to the following reasons () If the bus is in the state of rest, the luggage is also in the came state of rast. When the bus starts suddenly the luggage tends to remain in the state of rest due to the inertia of rest.

It specifies that the first law is contained in the second law, but this does not mean that the second law is the real law, Significance of Unbalanced, External Force In Newton's second law, we talked about unbalanced external force. Let us understand its significance through these examples. | Example 7: Let us consider two forces F, and F; acting on a body of mass'®\kg as shown in the figure.

When switched on, it exerts a force F on the boat. Will the boat move or not? Solution : The fan and the boat are one system henoa, the forces they exert on each other are internal, Therefore, they are not considered. External force = 0 so, af = 229 m Hence, the boat will not move. Example 9: A car is moving with a constant velocity of 50 km/h and the mass of the car is 1000 kg. Find the net force acting on it Solution : ‘As car is moving with constant velocity so acceleration is equal to zero. Therefore, the net force acting on it will be zero as force = mass acceleration. Example 10 What acceleration will be produced by a force of 10 N exerted on a body of mass 5 kg? Solution : We have, F = 10 N, mass of the body (mn) =5 kg ‘Acceleration (a) = ?

Example 14: A bus starts from rest and moves down a hill»with constant acceleration. The bus travels a distance of 200 m in 10 s. If the mass of the bus is § metric tonne; then what will be the acceleration and the force acting on it (1 metric tonne = 1000 kg)? Solution : We have, Initial velocity (u) = 0 mvs tance travelled by bus (s)= 200 m Time taken by the bus (f)= 10 Mass of the bus (m) = § metric tonne = 5 1000 = 5000 kg ‘Acceleration (a) = ?

What is the force of friction between the stone and ice? Solution : ‘We have, Initial velocity of the stone (u) = 20 mis. Final velocity of the stone (v) ="O.m/s Distance travelled (2) Mass of the stone (mm) = Force of friction (F) =? To caloulate the force, we can use Newton's second lat of motion, F = ma, but we have to first calculate acceleration (a).

This exerts a very large force on the pile of tiles which is sufficient to break them, by a single. blow. of his hand, tb) Fig. 12 : By a single blow, a karate player is able to break a pile of tiles or a slab of ice In a high jump athletic event, the athletes are allowed to fall either on a sand bed or cushioned bed : This is done to increase the time of athletes fall to stop after making the high jump, which decreases the rate of change of linear momentum and decreases the impact. ‘Shockers are provided in automobiles : itis used to decrease the rate of change of lineer momentum by increasing the time interval and hence, reducing the impact during the jerks. It also reduces the hardness of the shocks, when the vehicles move over uneven roads. While driving car, the drivers and other passengers are advised to wear seat belts : When brakes are applied suddenly, the passengers of the car fall forward due to the inertia of motion. The seat belt worn by passengers of the car prevents them from falling forward suddenly. This enables the entire linear ‘momentum of the passengers fo reduce to zero over a long interval of time, hence it prevents injury Athletes are advised to come to stop slowly after finishing a fast race : By doing so, he decreases the rate of change of linear momentum by increasing the time interval and hence, reducing the impact. which reduces injury.

Force on man (reection) Laws ‘A rubber ball rebounds when struck from a hard floor : When we strike a rubber ball against a hard floor, the ball exerts a force on the hard floor (i... action). According to Newton's third law of motion, the floor exerts an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) force (/e., reaction) on the ball Fig. 23 Significance of Newton's Laws : 1. The first law talks about the natural state of motion of a body. 2. The second law says that if a body is not following its natural‘State Gf motion, then there has to be a net unbalanced external force acting on the body. 3. The third law talks about the nature of the force, ‘¢.. forces exist in pairs Can we say that first law can be derived from second law? No, three laws are independent. Can we say that action occurs before the:reaction? No, both occur at the same time, Can we say that action and reaction act on\the same body? No, they always act on different bodies. CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM, ‘According to the conservation of-jinear momentum, if there is no net extemal force acting on the system, the total linear momentum of that system remains conserved. In other words for an isolated system the initia! linear momentum of the system is equal to the final linear momentum of the system.

(ii) Rocket propulsion : Before firing the rocket, total near momentum of the system is zero. Because, the rocket is in the state of rest. When it is fired, chemical fuels inside the rocket are bumt and the hot gases are passed through nozzle with great speed. According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total linear momentum after firing must be equal to zero. As the hot gases gain linear momentum to the rear on leaving the rocket, the rocket acquires equal linear momentum in the upward i.., opposite direction. Fig. 26 Example 14 ‘Aktar, Karan and Rahul were riding a motor car that was moving with a high velocity on an exeress highway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the wind-screen. Aktar and Karan started pondering over the situation. Karan suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in linear momentum as compared to the change in linear momentum of the motor car (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of motorcar). Aktar said that since the motor car was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on'the insect arid as a result the insect died: Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motor car and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their linear momentum. Comment on these suggestions. Solution : Rahul's explanation is correct due to the following reasons : () When insect hits the wind shield of the'ar, it @kerts a force on wind: shield and according to Newton's third law wind shield will exert equal force (in magnitude) on the insect but in opposite direction. Thus, both the motor car and insect experienced the same force (@) According to conservation of linear momentum, during collision, the total linear momentum of the system remains conserved. It meains the change in)linear momentum of the car should be equal and opposite to that of the insect. Since the linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body, the insect having smaller mass will suffer greater change in velocity resulting in greater injuries or even death. Whereas motor car having very large mass will suffer very email chango in velocity. Example 15: A bullet of mass 90 g Is fred trom a’guin with inital velocty of 35 m/s.

A body at rest remains at rest andcannot ¢ Quick Recap start moving on its own due to the inertia of rst. ‘= Assignment Examples : =: A passenger tends to fall backward, when the bus Starts suddeniy./As the feet touch the bus so lower part of his body comes to motion while the upper part ofthe passenger's body stays at rest due to inertia of rest Hence, he feels a backward jefk. @C ©) A Fig. Similarly, when a horse starts ‘running suddenly, the rider fats backward due to the inertia of rest. ‘When we shake the branches of a fruit tree, branch comes to motion, But, fruits remain at rest due to the inertia of rest and fal down. Fig. 2 Whena carpetiis beaten with a stick, dust particles comes out due to the inertia of rest. Inertia of Motion Itis inability of a body in motion to stop by itself. Abody in uniform motion can neither accelerate nor retard on its own. It also cannot come to rest on its own. Examples : ball thrown vertically upwards in a train moving with a uniform velocity returns to the thrower. Because during the upward and downward motion, the ball also moves horizontal along with the train, due to the inertia of motion. Hence, it covers the same horizontal distance as the train does and the ball returns to the thrower. Aman jumping from a moving bus falls forward due to the inertia of motion. As his feet touch the ground lower part of his body comes to rest, while the remaining part of his body is stil in motion. As a result Of which, he falls down in the direction of motion of the bus. This is due to the inertia of motion of the upper part of the passenger's body. @), (b) Fig. 3 : A passenger jumping out of a speeding bus may fall forward % An athlete runs some distance, before taking a long jump due to the inértia of motion, since the length of jump depends upon his velocity atthe instant when he just leaves the ground to jump. Inertia of Direction itis the inability of a body by the virtue of which it canfiot change its direction of motion by itself. Hence, we conclude all objects resist.a change in their state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line. Unless acted upon by an unbalanced extemal forte. This tendency of objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called inertia, This is why, the first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia, Examples : When a car makes a sharp tum at.a high’speed, the driver tends to get thrown to other side due to directional inertia. When the car is moving along a straight line, the driver tends to continue in straight line motion. When the unbalanéad force is applied by the engine to change the direction of motion of the car, the driver slips to one side of the seat due to the inertia of direction of his body. ‘& The sparks coming out of a grinding stone are tangential to the rotating stone due to directional inertia. Fig. 4 The mud from the wheels of a moving vehicle fies off tangentially due to directional inertia. Example 1: ‘A moving bicycle comes to rest after sometime if we stop pedaling it. But Newton's first law of motion says that a moving body should continue to move forever, unless some extemal force acts on it Is it falure of Newton's law? Explain. Solution : If we stop pedalling a bicycle which is moving with a uniform speed, it does not go on moving forever, but ‘comes to rest after some time. The moving bicycle has been compelled to change its state of uniform motion by the external force of air resistance and friction. If there were no air resistance and no friction to oppose the motion of the bicycle, then according to the first law of motion, a moving bicycle would go on moving forever. It would not stop by itself. Therefore, Newton's law is applicable here. IMPULSE ‘An Impulse is defined as the change in linear momentum. It is measured as the product of the average force and time for which the force acts. It is a vector quantity directed along the direction of force.

This means that there exists a certain opposition to the motion of the box on the ground. This opposition must be acting opposite to the direction in which you try to move the box. This opposing force acts between the surface of the box and the ground is called the force of friction. Itis also a type of contact force. Friction is the force which comes into play when (A body tends to move or actually moves over the surface of another body. (Frictional force) Direction of motion fi [or impanding motion Fig. 10 (i) A body tends to roll or actually rolls over the surface of another body. ‘e=o-O Fig. 11 Friction opposes the relative motion between the two surfaces in contact. It acts on both the surfaces. Factors Affecting Friction 1. Nature of surfaces in contact. 4 Roughness : Its found that, friction is caused by the inferiocking of regularities on the two surfaces in contact. Imeguiarities gve rise to roughness. Fricion between two surfaces in contact increases with increase in the roughness of the surfaces, ‘ Smoothness : It reduces friction between two surfaces'in contact Irregularities between two surfaces in contact © 1— F. (Applied force) ‘Surface irregularities ‘The above fgure shows minute irreguarities on two surfaces in contact. These irregularities are locked into one another. If we try to move any of the surfaces, some part of the external force applied is used to overcome this interlocking. ‘A rough surface has a large number of irregularities, so the force of friction is greater. 4 A smooth surface has small number of irregularities, so the force of friction is less. 2. Normal reaction : The force of friction between an object and the surface on which it moves or 's about to move is proportional to its normal reaction, Normal reaction may be defined as the pushing force that an object exerts on the surface, with which itis in contact, in @ direction perpendicular to the surface. In case of horizontal motion, weight gives the nermal reaction therefore, the heavier the object, the greater the frictional force. As the normal reaction increases, the interlocking between two surfaces in contact increases as they press harder against each other and hence, friction increases. “Aakash Educational Sorvices Limited - Regd. Office = Ackash Towsr, 8, Pusa Road, Now Dath-110005 Ph 011-47625456 3. Area of contact : The force of friction between an object and the surface on which it rests is independent of the surface area of the object. Two objects may have different surface areas, but if they weigh the same and are of similar nature, they will exert the same amount of frictional force. ‘Static and Kinetic Friction Static Friction (f,) The force of friction that comes into play between the two surfaces in contact, before they actually start moving relative to each other is called static friction. Static friction does not exist by itself. When there is no applied force, there is no static friction. It comes into play the moment there is an applied force. Static friction varies between zero and a maximum value, which depends upon the nature of the two surfaces in contact. Rest Yjreremmionndorr Rough surface Fig. 12 In the above figure, a spring balance [s.attached to a block placed on a rough surface. Initially, the balance is pulled gently but the block does not move. Here, the block is not sliding ver. the surface, so force of friction acing on the block is static friction and its, magnitude is equal to that of the applied force. Ifthe applied force ts further increased such that the block stil remains at rest, then the'spring balanee records a higher magnitude of force as compared to the earlier. This shows that statc friction is a’variable or self-adjusting force. Experiment shows that in many casés.the, maximum valiié/of static friction. Called. (fre. i approximately proportional to magnitude of normal force (N); we call the proportionality factor, the’ coefficient of static friction.

In symbols, £, < u,N (Magnitude of static friction foroe) ‘Limiting friction (f) : Iti'the maximum Value of staticfricton which comes into play when a body is, just about to slide over the surface of another body, For an applied extemal force greater than the limiting friction, the body begins to move. (Once the motion begins, a new type of friction called Kinetic friction comes into play. Kinetic Friction (f,) The force of friction acting between the fwWo surfaces, when one surface is in motion over the other is called kinetic friction or dynamic friction or sliding friction. Kinetic friction (f,) is always Jess than the limiting friction. In many cases, the magnitude of kinetic fiction force f, is found experimentally to be approximately proportional to the magnitude of the normal force N. In such cases, we represent the relationship by equation , = 14f1 (Magnitude of kinetic friction force) Where 1, (Pronounced “Mu-Sub-k’) is a constant called the coefficient of kinetic fticiion.
