Why a standard unit is need to measure a quantity correctly.
Ans:
Various units have been in use in different times in different parts of the
world. The fast means of communication systems have changed the world into
a global village. Due to this reason an international system of units for mutual
business became essential.
The eleventh general conference of weights and measures recommended that
all the countries of world should adopted a system of same kind of standard
units, consisting of seven base units known as international system of units (SI)
and derived units.

Q: What is the use of vernier calipers?

Ideal Science Academy


Page

Q1.7 What is meant by its vernier constant?


Ans.
A vernier calliper can be used to measure lengths accurately up to one
tenth of a millimetre.
Least Count/Vernier Constant
The minimum length which can be measured accurately with the help of vernier
scale or vernier calipers is called least count.
Least count of vernier calliper is 1/10 mm or 0.1 cm which is also called vernier
constant.
Q: Explain the statement A micrometer screw gauge measures more
accurately than a vernier caliper?
Ans.
Least Count: The minimum length which can be measured accurately is
called least count of any measuring device.
The least count of micrometer screw gauge is 0.01 mm and that of Vernier
calliper is 0.1. cm. So a micrometer screw gauge measures more accurately
than a vernier calliper.
Significant figures:
All accurately known digits and the first doubtful digit in an expression are
called significant figures. It reflects the precision of a measured
value of a
physical quantity.
RULES TO FIND THE SIGNIFICANT FIGURE IN A MEASUREMENT:
(i) Digits other than zero are always significant.
27 have 2 significant digits.
275 have 3 significant digits.
(ii) Zeroes between significant digits are also significant.
2705 have 4 significant digits.
(iii) Final zero or zero after decimal are significant.
275.00 have 5 significant digits.
(iv) Zero used for spacing the decimal points is not significant.
Here zero is place holders only.
0.03 has 1 significant digit.

Page

0.027 has 2 significant digits.

Ideal Science Academy


(v) In whole numbers that end in 1 or more zero without a decimal point. These
zeroes may or may not be significant. In such cases, it is not clear which zero
serve to locate the position value and which are actually parts of
measurements. In such a case, express the quantity using scientific notation to
find the significant zero.
APPLICATION OF PHYSICS

Derivation of Equation of Motion (Graphically)


First Equation of Motion
Consider an object moving with a uniform velocity u in a straight line. Let it be,
given a uniform acceleration at time, t = 0 when its initial velocity is V i. As a
result of the acceleration, its velocity increases to V f (final velocity) in time t
and s is the distance covered by the object in time t. The figure shows the
velocity-time graph of the motion of the object.
Slope of the Vf - t graph gives the acceleration of the moving object.
Thus, acceleration = slope = AB = BC/AC

resistance, all bodies in free-fall close to the Earths surface accelerate


vertically downwards with the same acceleration: namely 9.8 m/s 2
Example
If a ball is thrown vertically upward, it rises to a particular height and then falls
back to the ground. However this is due to the attraction of the earth which
pulls the object towards the ground
Characteristic Of Free Falling Bodies
1. When a body is thrown vertically upward, its velocity continuously decreases
and become zero at a particular height During this motion the value of
acceleration is negative and Vf is equal to zero
(a = -9.8m/s2 , Vf = 0).
2. When a body falls back to the ground , its velocity continuously increases
and become maximum at a particular height During this motion the value of
acceleration is positive and Vi is equal to zero (a = 9.8m/s 2 , Vi = 0).
3. Acceleration due to gravity is denoted by a and its value is 9.8m/s 2 .

Dynamics

1. FORCE
The Force is an agent which produces or tends to produce a motion in a body
or it stops or tends to stop the motion of a body. In simple words we can also
say that force is an agent which changes or tends to change the state of an
object.
UNIT
The unit of a Force in M.K.S System is Newton
2. MASS
The quantity of matter contained in a body is called mass. It is a scalar
quantity.

F = ma

UNIT
The unit of mass in M.K.S System is Kilogram (kg).
3. WEIGHT
The force with which earth attracts other bodies towards its centre is called
weight. It is a vector quantity.
FORMULA;

W = mg

UNIT
The unit of weight in M.K.S System is Newton (N).
INERTIA
Definition
Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist a change in its state.
Examples
Cover a glass with a post card and place a coin on it. Now strike the post card
swiftly with the nail of your finger. If the stroke has been made correctly, the
postcard will be thrown away and the coin will drop in the glass.
If a moving bus stops suddenly, the passenger standing in it feels a jerk in the
forward direction. As a result he may fall. It is due to the fact that the lower
part of the standing passengers comes to rest as the bus stops. But the upper
portion remains in motion due to inertia.
Difference between Mass and Weight
Mass
1. The quantity of matter present in a body is called mass.
2. The mass of a body remains constant everywhere and does not change by
change in altitude.

3. It is a scalar quantity.

4. Mass can be determined by a physical balance.


1. The force with which the earth attracts a body towards its centre is called
the weight of the body.
2. The weight of a body is not constant. It is changed by altitude.
3. Weight is always directed towards the center of the earth. So it is a vector
quantity.
4. Weight can be determined by only a spring balance.
MOMENTUM
The quantity or quality of motion is called momentum and it is denoted by P
MATHEMATICAL DEFINITION
It is the product of mass and velocity.
MATHEMATICAL REPRESENTATION
P = mV
where:
p is the momentum
m is the mass
v the velocity
LAW OF MOTIONS
Newton formulated three laws of motion in his book.
NEWTON FIRST LAW OF MOTIONS
Newtons first law of motion is also known as the Law of Inertia.
STATEMENT
Every body continues its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line until
it is acted upon by an external or unbalance force to change its state of rest or
uniform motion.

This law consists of a two parts


(a) When body is at rest

Page

EXPLANATION

32

Ideal Science Academy

(b) When body is moving with uniform velocity


(a). When a body is at rest
Newtons Law states that when a body is at rest, it continues its rest unless we
apply a force on it. When we apply a force, it changes its state of rest and
starts moving along a straight line.
(b) When body is moving with a uniform velocity
Newtons Law states that when a body is moving, it moves in a straight line
with uniform velocity, but when we apply an opposite force, it changes its state
of motion and come to rest.
Examples
If a bus suddenly starts moving, the passengers standing in the bus will fall in
the backward direction. It is due to the reason that the lower part of the
passengers which is in contract with the floor of the bus is carried forward by
the motion of the bus, but the upper part of the body remains at rest due to
inertia and so the passengers fall in backward direction.
If a bus suddenly stops moving, the passengers standing in the bus will fall in
the forward direction. It is due to the reason that the lower part of the
passengers which is in contract with the floor of the bus is stopped with the
bus, but the upper part of the body remains moving due to inertia and so the
passengers fall in forward direction.
SECOND LAW OF MOTION
STATEMENT
When a force acts on an object it produces an acceleration which is directly
proportion to the amount of the force and inversely proportional to the product
of mass

EXPLANATION

33

Ideal Science Academy


Page

When we push a body with greater force then its velocity increases and change
of velocity takes place in the direction of the force. If we apply a certain force F
on a mass m, then it moves with certain velocity in the direction of the force. If
the force becomes twice then its velocity will also increase two times. In this
way if we go on increasing the fore there will be increase in velocity, which will
increase the acceleration.
DERIVATION

object it produces an acceleration which is directly proportion to the amount of
the force.

THIRD LAW OF MOTION
Statement:
To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction
EXPLANATION
According to Newtons Law of Motion, we have:
F(action) = F(reaction)
The negative (-) sign indicates that the two forces are parallel but in the
opposite direction. If we consider one of the interacting objects as A and the
other as B, then according to the third law of motion:
F(AB) = F(BA)
F(AB) represents the force exerted on A and F(BA) is the force exerted on
B.
Examples
We walk on the ground, we push the ground backward and as a reaction
the ground pushes us forward. Due to this reason we are able to move on the
ground.
If a book is placed on the table, it exerts some force on the table, which is
equal to the weight of the book. The table as a reaction pushes the book
upward. This is the reason that the book is stationary on the table and it does
not fall down.

FRICTION

35

Definition

Page

Ideal Science Academy

The force, which resists the motion of one surface

on

another surface, is known as


friction.
Explanation
Suppose a wooden block is placed on a table and a spring balance is attached
on it. If we apply a very small force of magnitude F by pulling the spring
gradually and increase it, we observe that the block does not move until the
applied force has reached a critical value. If F is less then critical value, the
block does not move. According to Newtons Third Law of motion an opposite
force balance the force. This opposing force is known as the force of friction or
friction.
CausesofFriction
If we see the surface of material bodies through microscope, we observe that
they are not smooth. Even the most polished surfaces are uneven. When one
surface is placed over another, the elevations of one get interlocked with the
depression of the other. Thus they oppose relative motion. The opposition is
known as friction.
Factors on which Friction Depends
The force of friction depends upon the following factors:
1. Normal Reaction (R)
Force of friction is directly proportional to normal reaction (R), which act upon

Ideal Science Academy

2. Nature of Surfaces

Page

surface.

36

the body in upward direction against the weight of the body sliding on the

Force of friction also depends upon the nature of the two surfaces. It is denoted
as u and has constant values for every surface. It is different for the two
surfaces in contact.
Coefficient Of Friction
The coefficient of friction is a number which represents the friction between
two surfaces. Between two equal surfaces, the coefficient of friction will be the
same. The symbol usually used for the coefficient of friction is

Greek letter

, where 0 1 .
The maximum frictional force (when a body is sliding) is equal to the coefficient
of friction the normal reaction force.
F=R
Where is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction force.
This frictional force, F, will act parallel to the surfaces in contact and in a
direction to oppose the motion that is taking/ trying to take place.
Advantages of Friction
1. We could not walk without the friction between our shoes and the ground. As
we try to step forward, we push our foot backward. Friction holds our shoe to
the ground, allowing you to walk.
2. Writing with a pencil requires friction. We could not hold a pencil in our hand
without friction.
3. A nail stays in wood due to friction
4. Nut and bold hold due to friction

DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTION

37

Ideal Science Academy


Page

1. In any type of vehiclesuch as a car, boat or airplaneexcess friction means


that extra fuel must be used to power the vehicle. In other words, fuel or
energy is wasted because of the friction.
2. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the amount of energy remains
constant. Thus, the energy that is lost to friction in trying to move an object
is really turned to heat energy. The friction of parts rubbing together creates
heat.
3. Due to the friction a machine has less efficiency less than 100%.
4. Due to friction machine catch fire.
Laws of Friction
Statement
The value of limiting friction increases proportionally with the increase in
normal reaction. Hence, liming friction F(s) is directly proportional to the
normal reaction.
F(s) < R (Here < represents the sign of proportionality dont write it in the
examination paper.)
=> Fs = R .. (i)
u = F(s)/R
u is the constant of proportionality, which depends upon the nature of the
surfaces of the two surfaces in contact. It is known as the coefficient of friction.
It is only a number without any unit. We know that the normal reaction is
directly proportional to the weight of the block, therefore,
R = W = mg
Substituting the value of R in equation (i)
=> Fs = mg
Rolling Friction

When a body rolls over a surface, the force of friction is called rolling friction.
surfaces in contact are very much less.

Rolling friction is much less than the sliding friction. This is because the
LONG QUESTIONS
Question: Explain the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
This law states that
When two or more bodies collide with one another the total momentum of the
system remains the same, provided no external force acts upon them.
Explanation: The law of conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of nature, and it
states that the total momentum of an isolated system of objects (which has no
interactions with external agents) is constant. One of the consequences of this
is that the of any centre of mass system of objects will always continue with
the same velocity unless acted on by a force outside the system.
Consider two balls of masses m 1 and m2. They are initially moving with
velocities u1and u2 in same direction on a straight line. If u 1 > u2, then the balls
will collide. Let their velocities becomes v1 and v2 after collision.
Total momentum of balls before collision =

m1u1 + m2u2

Total momentum of balls after collision =

m1v1 + m2v2

According to Law of conservation of momentum


Total Momentum before collision
m1u1 + m2u2

Total Momentum after collision

m1v1 + m2v2

Rockets and jet engines also work on the same principle. In these machines,
hot gases produced by burning of fuel rush out with large momentum. The
machines gain an equal and opposite momentum. This enables them to
move with very high velocities.
Question: Define friction and describe the types of friction?

Ideal Science Academy

39

Question: What is force of friction? How friction can be reduced?


Friction: The force, which resists the motion of one surface on another surface, is known
as
friction.
Methods to reduce friction: i) Sliding parts should be highly polished to reduce friction.
ii) Friction of liquids is less than solids. Therefore oil or grease is applied
between the parts of machinery.
iii) Rolling friction is less then sliding friction. Therefore sliding friction should
be converted to rolling friction by using ball bearings.
iv) Front side of vehicles, aeroplanes and ships are shaped wedge like and
pointed so that minimum friction is offered by air.
Centripetal Force
Definition
The force that causes an object to move along a curve (or a curved path) is
called centripetal force.
Mathematical Expression
We know that the magnitude of centripetal acceleration of a body in a uniform
circular motions is directly proportional to the square of velocity and inversely
proportional to the radius of the path Therefore,
a(c) v2
a(c) 1/r
Combining both the equations:
a(c) v2/r
From Newtons Second Law of Motion:
F = ma
=> F(c) = mv2/r

v = Velocity of object

m = Mass of object

Fc = Centripetal Force

40

Where,

r = Radius of the curved path

Banking of the roads Factors on which Fc Depends:


Fc depends upon the following factors:
Increase in the mass will increases Fc.
It increases with the square of velocity.
It decreases with the increase in radius of the curved path.
When a car takes
Examples
The centripetal force required by natural planets to move constantly round a
circle is provided by the gravitational force of the sun.
If a stone tied to a string is whirled in a circle, the required centripetal force is
supplied to it by our hand. As a reaction the stone exerts an equal force which
is felt by our hand.
The pilot while turning his aero plane tilts one wing in the upward direction so
that the air pressure may provide the required suitable Fc.
Centrifugal Force
Definition
A force supposed to act outward on a body moving in a curve is known as
centrifugal force.
Explanation
Centrifugal force is actually a reaction to the centripetal force. It is a wellknown fact that Fc is directed towards the centre of the circle, so the
centrifugal force, which is a force of reaction, is directed away from the centre

Ideal Science Academy


41

of the circle or the curved path.

Page

According to Newtons third law of motion action and reaction do not


act on the same body, so the centrifugal force does not act on the
body moving round a circle, but it acts on the body that provides Fc.
Examples
If a stone is tied to one end of a string and it is moved round a circle, then the
force exerted on the string on outward direction is called centrifugal force.
The aeroplane moving in a circle exerts force in a direction opposite to the
pressure of air.
When a train rounds a curve, the centrifugal force is also exerted on the track.

Consider two bodies A and B of masses m 1 and m2 respectively, let m1 is


greater than m2. the bodies are attached to the opposite ends of an
inextensible string. The string passes over a frictionless pulley. the body A
being heavier must be moving downward with some acceleration. Let this
acceleration be a. At the same time, the body B attached to the other end of
the string moves up with the same acceleration a. As the pulley is frictionless,
hence tension will be the same throughout the string. Let the tension in the
string be T.
Since the body A moves downwards, hence its weight m1g is greater than the
tension T in the string.

iii) Rolling friction is less then sliding friction. Therefore sliding friction should
be converted to rolling friction by using ball bearings.
iv) Front side of vehicles, aeroplanes and ships are shaped wedge like and
pointed so that minimum friction is offered by air.
3.17. Why rolling friction is lower than sliding friction?

Ans: the interlocking between ups and down of two surface need not be
ruptured in case of rolling while in case of sliding these are to be ruptured and
result to increase in friction .
3.18. What do you know about the following?
(i) Tension in a string
Ans: Tension in string is to neutralize applied force on the string this prevents
it from moving.
(iii) Limiting force of friction
Ans: The force of friction on the body at rest lying in a rough surface is called
force of static friction its value increases with the increase of applied force .The
maximum possible value of static friction if applied force made grater then it
body starts moving is called limiting force of static friction
(iv) Braking force
Ans: the bracking force is the force between brake pushing and wheel of
vehicle. It is help to stop the wheels.
(v) Skidding of vehicles
Ans: when a force of friction between tyre and road is small then applying
brakes tyre slide over the road .it is called skidding of vehicles
(vi) Seatbelts
Ans: The seat belts provide opposition against falling ahead when vehicle is
stopped suddenly
(vii) Banking of roads
Ans: the outer edge of road is made higher to provide reactional force on tyre
which prevents it from slopping. It is called banking of road.
(viii)
Cream separator
Ans: in a cream separator milk is rotated and lighter particles of cream come at
the axis of rotation and are separated from milk and collected through the
pipe.
3.19. What would happen if all friction suddenly disappears?
Ans: when the frictional force suddenly disappears the motion of the object
would never be stopped.
3.20. Why the spinner of a washing machine is made to spin at a high
speed?
Ans: at very high spinning speed the water and dirt particles are separate from
cloths to clean them inside washing machine.
