27
1st law of motion
Every body remains in its state of rest or uniform motion in a unless compelled by an external unbalanced force.

37
If the length of a spring becomes less than its natural length, then it is called as the
Compressed spring , which pushes the objects at its end.
38
A moving car collides with a truck at rest which would have more damage.
According to the 3rd each of them exert equal force in the opposite direction.
But the force exerted on the car by the truck would cause more acceleration as the mass of the car is less. This sudden acceleration makes it more dangerous.

Forces acting within a system among its constituents.
External forces :
Forces exerted on the constituents of a system by the outside environment.
43

45

0
46
An object is said to be in rotational equilibrium when :
The vector sum of all torques acting on it become 0
47
When we walk does frictional force act forward or backward
You are standing (velocity=0); You suddenly start walking (velocity=v). You just accelerated from velocity 0 to v in the FORWARD direction. So there must have been an EXTERNAL (to your body) FORCE in the FORWARD direction which caused this acceleration.
What is this external force APPLIED ON YOU IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION that caused this acceleration and who applied it?
Answer- The external force is the Friction between your foot and the ground. And obviously the ground applied it on you. (You tried pushing the ground backward by making use of those irregularities on the surfaces of your foot and the ground, and the ground in turn pushed you forward(action reaction))
Now that you have started walking, you walk with the same velocity on an average, DON'T YOU ? (think)
So now you are not accelerating once you have started walking. The NET EXTERNAL FORCE must be zero then. Hence, ONCE YOU HAVE STARTED WALKING, YOU DON'T ACCELERATE; THEREFORE THE NET FRICTION ON YOU IS ZERO ON AN AVERAGE.
Your back foot is pushing you forward, so the frictional force on the ground is forward.
Your front foot is (INITIALLY) stopping you from falling, so the frictional force on the ground is backward.
48
When we act at a constant speed , the net frictional force is ..... , but while gaining speed net frictional force is .......
0, positive
It is because the frictional force pushes the rear leg forward (f1) and the frictional forces acts backward on the front leg (INITIALLY) to stop u from falling.(f2)
When you are walking with a constant speed they are equal (f1 and f2). So the net frictional force acting on the object is 0.
But while gaining speed f2 is lesser than f1 causing u to gain speed. Here the net frictional force is positive.
But while losing speed f2 is more than f1 causing u to loss speed. Here the net frictional force is negative.
49
Less force has to be applied to pull a object rather than push it why ?
When u push a object (not horizontally) a component of that force would increase the normal force of the body. This increase in the normal force causes the frictional force to increase. This increase in frictional force makes it harder to push an object.
While when u pull an object a component of the force would reduce the normal force , thus reducing friction. (As friction is less it is more easier to pull).
50
Less force is needed to pull an object rather than pushing it.

51
Spring balance measures the :
Weight of an object by measuring the force applied on the hook.
52
A weighing machine , measures the weight of an object by measuring the

60
Molecular bonds formed at the actual contact points of the surface cause

74
Limiting friction definition
When the applied force reaches a certain limit the object would be on the verge of motion. The frictional force at this stage is called limiting friction. When the body is set into into motion smaller force is now required to continue the motion.
75
Kinetic or dynamic friction
Force of friction experienced by a body when it is in the state of motion.
76
Conservative force definition
A conservative force is a force which does the same magnitude of work in moving an object between 2 points, regardless of the path taken.
E.g. gravity.
Work done = force x displacement
= mgh.

78
Non conservative force definition
A conservative force is a force in which the magnitude of work done in moving an object between 2 points, is based on the path taken.
E.g. friction.
Work done = (-) frictional force x distance covered.
79

Nature of medium between the charges.
101
What is centre of gravity ?
A body is made of a number of particles and these particles are attracted towards the earth due to gravity. The forces acting on them are F1,F2,F3 etc. These forces act parallel in the downward direction. The parallel forces can be replaced by a single resultant force acting at a particular point of the body. This point is called centre of gravity.
102
A body is said to be in stable equilibrium if
The body returns to its original state after the external force causing change in position of the body is withdrawn.
103
A body is said to be in unstable equilibrium if
The body does not return to its original state after the ,external force causing change in position of the body, is withdrawn.
104
Neutral equilibrium.
A body is said to be in neutral equilibrium if the body takes a new position without changes in its centre of gravity.
105
What is happening in stable,unstable and neutral equilibrium
After applying a external force that causes a slight displacement in from the equilibrium position of an object:
1) If BOTH POSITION and CENTRE OF GRAVITY of the object does not tend to change (tends to return to original state) : stable equilibrium
2) If BOTH POSITION and CENTRE OF GRAVITY of the object changes (comes to a completely new state) : stable equilibrium.
3) If POSITION changes but CENTRE OF GRAVITY of the object does not change : neutral equilibrium.
106
Spring balance actually measures the force exerted by the object on its
Hook
107
Cartridge contains
Bullet, the casing , a chemical powder.
(Only the main things said here)
The chemical powder causes a chemical reaction propelling the bullet forward.
108
Recoil
A backward movement usually caused by momentum etc.
109
Why aren’t the normal force and gravity, action reaction pairs.
They are not action reaction pairs as normal force would not necessarily be equal to gravity.(in a lift)
Actually it is the normal force acted by the book on a table ,and, the normal force acted by the table on the book ,which are action reaction pairs.
Actually it is the force by which the earth attracts the book(mg) ,and, force by which the book attracts the earth(mg) ,which are action reaction pairs.
110

External
111
Recoil velocity of a gun when it fires a bullet is taken
Positive. (I know that the bullets and the recoil of the gun move in the opposite directions but both of their velocities are put as positive)
:(
112
F = kma. Here k is the
Proportionality constant
113
A bullet fired from the gun makes a small hole, while a stone shatters the wall
it because of impulse
impulse = force * dt
for bullet the time factor is too small thats why impulse is small than that of stone.. or in normal language when bullet touches the glass the duration(dt) of application of force is too small …
again suppose i fire a large bullet… here area of impact is large
force= pressure * area - > that implies
impulse = pressure * area * dt
so there r two variables area and dt … pressure is constant because glass can bear a constant amount of pressure before it breaks … does not matter u fire a bullet or through a stone.
A stone has more area and takes more time , so the impulse of the stone is more and this causes the glass to shatter.
Also as the bullet is moving very fast it is not able to impart its motion and the glass remains at rest due to inertia of rest.
114
Force = mass x acceleration =
Pressure x area
115
In an accelerating system acceleration can be found by

135
Why doesn’t action and reaction cancel each other out
They don’t cancel as they act on 2 different bodies. Each force produces its own effect.
