*Q.6. For the study of any kind of motion,
never use Newton’s first law of motion
directly. Why should it be studied?
aAns:
i,
iil.
Newton’s first law shows an equivalence
between the ‘state of rest’ and ‘state of
uniform motion along 4 straight line.’
Newton’s first law of motion defines force as
a physical quantity that brings about a change
in ‘state of rest’ or ‘state of uniform motion
along a straight line’ of a body.
Newton’s first law of motion defines inertia as
a fundamental property of every physical
object by which the object resists any change
in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a
straight line.
Due to all these r
should be studied.

*Q.8. In real life, objects mever travel with
uniform velocity, even on a horizontal
surface, unless something is done? Why is it
so? What is to be done?
Ans:
ig According to Newton’s first law, for a body to
achieve uniform velocity, the net force acting
onit should be zero.
ii, In real life, a body in motion is constantly
being acted upon by resistive or opposing
force like friction, in the direction opposite to
that of the motion.
iii, To overcome these opposing forces, an
additional external force is required. Thus, the
net force is not maintained at zero, making it
hard to achieve uniform velocity.
iv. For an object to travel with uniform velocity,
the surface has to be frictionless ie., the
motion has to be free of resistive or opposing
forces.

irection of the net
& down with a constant
The drop of rain falls down with a constant
speed, hence according to the first law of
motion, the net force on the drop of rain is
zero,
Since the 10 g cork is floating on water, its
weight is balanced by the up thrust due to
water. Therefore, net force on the cork is zero.
As the kite is skilfully held stationary in the
sky, in accordance with first law of motion,
the net force on the kite is zero.
As the car is moving with a constant velocity
of 30 km/h on a road, the net force on the car
is zero.
As the high-speed electron in space is far from
all material objects, and free of electric and
magnetic fields, it doesn’t accelerate and
moves with constant velocity. Hence, net force
acting on the electron is zero.a. M1. Explain why a cricketer moves his hands

backwards while holding a catch. (NCERT)
In the act of catching the ball, by drawing
hands backward, cricketer allows longer
time for his hands to stop the ball.
By Newton’s second law of motion, force
applied depends on the rate of change of
momentum.
Taking longer time to stop the ball ensures
smaller rate of change of momentum.
Due to this the cricketer can stop the ball by
applying smaller amount of force and thereby
not hurting his hands.*Q.20. A truck of mass 5 ton is travelling on a
horizontal road with 36 km hr’, stops on
traveling 1 km after its engine fails suddenly.
What fraction of its weight is the frictional

Yes, there exists a gravitational force between

The gravitational force between any two
objects is given by, F= Goa
Where,
G = universal gravitational constant,
m, and m) = mass of the two objects,
r = distance between centres of the two objects
Thus, me and my friend attract each other. But
due to our small masses, we exert a force on
each other, which is too small as compared to
the gravitational force of the earth. Hence, me
and my friend don’t move towards each other.
Apart from gravitational force of the earth,
there is the normal force and frictional force

Will the ball bounce to the same height

Let the ball dropped from the terrace of a

fall, the ball is acted upon by gravity
(accelerating conservative force).
While coming down, the work that is done is
equal to the decrease in the potential energy.
This work done however is not entirely

of it is used in overcoming the air resistance
(retarding non-conservative force). This part
of energy appears in some other forms such as
heat, sound, etc.
Thus, in this case of an accelerating
conservative force along with a retarding
non-conservative force, the work-energy
theorem is given as,
Decrease in the gravitational
P.E. = Increase in the kinetic energy + work
done against non-conservative forces.
Thus, the relation mgh =; my’ is not applicable
when non-conservative forces are considered.
The part of the energy converted to heat, sound
etc also needs to be added to the equation.

momentum. It is a consequence of which
law? Give an example from our daily life
for conservation of momentum. Does it hold
good during burst of a cracker?
Statement: The total momentum of an
isolated system is conserved during any
interaction.
The law of conservation of linear momentum
is a consequence of Newton’s second law of
motion. (in combination with Newton’s third
law)
Example: When a nail is driven into a wall by
striking it with a hammer, the hammer is seen
to rebound after striking the nail. This is
because the hammer imparts a certain amount
of momentum to the nail and the nail imparts
an equal and opposite amount of momentum
to the hammer.
Linear momentum conservation during the
burst of a cracker:
a. The law of conservation of linear
momentum holds good during bursting
of a cracker.
b. When a cracker is at rest before
explosion, the linear momentum of the
cracker is zero.
c. When cracker explodes into number of
pieces, scattered in different directions,
the vector sum of linear momentum of
these pieces is also zero. This is as per
the law of conservation of linear
momentum.‘Enrich Yi

equilibrium, ifno net force is acting upon it
In case of a system of bodies to be in mechanical
equilibrium, the net force acting on any part of
the system should be zero i.e., the velocity or
linear momentum of all parts of the system must
‘be constant or zero. There should be no
acceleration in any part of the system
Mathematically, for a system in mechanical
equilibrium, )F =0,
In case of rotating fan, if linear velocity is
zero, then the linear momentum is zero. That
means there is no net force acting on the fen
Hence, the fan is in mechanical equilibrium.

In all these cases, as the ball is at rest under
the action of balanced forces i.e, there is no net
force acting on it. Hence, it is in mechanical
equilibrium. ;

*Q.125. Three thin walled uniform hollow spheres
of radii 1 em, 2 em and 3 cm are so located
that their centres are on the three vertices
of an equilateral triangle ABC having each
side 10 em. Determine centre of mass of the
system.
r=lem
Solution:
Mass of a thin walled uniform hollow sphere
is proportional to its surface area, (as density
is constant) hence proportional to r°.
Thus, if mass of the sphere at A is my = m,
then mp = 4m and mc = 9m. By symmetry of
the spherical surface, their centres of mass
are at their respective centres, i.e., at A, B
and C.
Let us choose the origin to be at C, where the
largest mass 9m is located and the Point B
with mass 4m on the positive x-axis. With
this, the co-ordinates of C are (0, 0) and that
of B are (10, 0). If A of mass m is taken in

‘what conditions the centre of gravity and |

Ans:
2 Centre of gravity of a body is the point around

on the body is zero.
ii. The centre of mass coincides with centre of

gravitational field.
*Q.132, Why do we need to know the centre of mass
‘of an object? For which objects, its position
may differ from that of the centre of gravity?
Ans:
i. Centre of mass of an object allows us to apply
Newton’s laws of motion to finite objects
(objects of measurable size) by considering
these objects as point objects.
ii. For objects whose size is comparable to that of
the Earth (size at least few thousand km), the
position of centre of mass will differ than that
of centre of gravity.

Solution:
As the sheet is uniform, each square can be
taken to be equivalent to mass m concentrated
at its respective centre. These masses will then
be at the points labelled with numbers 1 to 10,
as shown in figure. Let us select the origin to
be at the left central mass ms, as shown and all
the co-ordinates to be in cm.
By symmetry, the centre of mass of mj, My
and m3 will be at m (1, 2) having effective
mass 3m. Similarly, effective mass 3m due to
mg, My and myo will be at mo (1, —2). Again,
by symmetry, the centre of mass of these two
(3m each) will have co-ordinates (1, 0). Mass
mg is also having co-ordinates (1, 0). Thus, the
effective mass at (1, 0) is 7m.
