02 - Force and Lows of Motion - 43-66
Illustrations –1: Why does a long jumper runs for a while before he jumps ?
Solution : A long jumper runs to gain kinetic inertia.
Illustrations –3: Without applying any force a moving ball does not change its direction.
Why ?
Solution: It is because of inertia of direction. The ball has a tendency to maintain its
direction by nature. It is only force that can change its direction.
⮚ Momentum
It is a physical quanites whic is measure by the product of mass and velocity
i.e. P m = mv
It is a vector quantities and its S.I unit is kgms-1 or, NS.
⮚ Newton’s Second Law of Motion
This law states “The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force
applied on the body and change in direction of the momentum takes place in the direction of the
force”.
Let a force F acts on a body of mass m moving with a velocity u. Let after some time t the velocity
changes to v.
Illustrations –4: A 2 kg ball is moving with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. A force is applied on the
ball and within 2 seconds the ball acquires a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Calculate the force.
Solution:
F=
(mv − mu )
t
2 2.5 − 2 1.5
= = 1N

Let body B exert force F AB on body A, body A exert a force F BA on body B. These forces are
related by
F AB = −F BA
The negative sign represents opposite direction.
Illustrations –5: A cricket player lowers their hand while catching a ball. Why ?
Solution: By lowering their hand they use to increase the time so that force exerted on
their hand becomes less.
Illustrations –6: Let a bullet of mass m is fired from a gun of mass M. Let the bullet moves
with a velocity v. What should be the velocity V of the gun that will recoil ?
Solution: According to the principle of conservation of momentum their total momentum
before and after fire (means collision) must remain same. Before the bullet was fired their total
momentum was zero. After the bullet is fired their total momentum is mv + MV.
Accordingly, mv + MV = 0.
It gives mv
V=−
M
Illustrations –7: A girl of mass 15 kg jumps over a trolly from rest. The trolly was moving
with a speed of 3 m/s. If the mass of the trolly is 10 kg with what speed the trolly will move with
the girl over it ?
Solution: By applying principle of conservation momentum, 10 × 3 = (15 + 10) × v (if v
is the asking speed).
By solving 30 = 1.2 m/s.
v= m/s
25
Obviously m1 will collide with m2. Let after collision velocity of m1 becomes v1 and velocity of
m2 becomes v2. During collision m1 will exert force on m2 and vice-versa.
The force exerted by m1 on m2, m1v1 − m1u1
F12 =
t
And the reaction force of m2 on m1 m 2 v 2 − m 2u 2
F21 =
t
Now, according to third law of motion F12 = – F21
or m1v1 − m1u1 m 2 v 2 − m 2u 2
= −
t t
or m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2
Total momentum before collision = the total momentum after the collision.
Thus, we can conclude that during coillision of two bodies the total momentum remain constant
before and after the collision provided no external force acts on them. This is known as principle
of conservation of momentum.
Illustrations –8: A person gets less hurt on jumping on sand than on jumping on a concrete floor.
Why ?
Solution: While jumping on sand, the person takes more time for the change in
momentum than while jumping on a concrete floor.
TYPES OF FORCES
In most situations that we are going to encounter, there will chiefly be three kinds of forces.
⮚ Field Forces:
Those forces which do not require contact between the bodies to act, for example gravitational
force, electromagnetic force etc., are known as field forces. Weight is a king of field force. It’s
direction is always downward direction.
It is usually convenient to resolve contact force into components, one parallel to the surface of
contact, the other perpendicular to the surface of contact.
To find the direction of normal reaction force remember this point “the surface to which you have
to represent normal reaction will be pushed away by the surface to which it is in contact. For
example
To represent normal reaction on surface I, we know surface II pushes away the surface I from it.
Therefore the normal reaction on surface I will be as shown in the figure.
Proceeding in the similar way we can represent the normal force on surface II as follows :
Note : N1 is normal reaction applied by surface II on surface I and N2 is the normal reaction
applied by surface I on surface II. Therefore from newton’s third law of motion N1 = −N2 .
It is the component of the contact force parallel to the surface of contact. The direction of the force
of friction is opposite to the direction of relative motion between the surfaces, or is such as to
oppose any tendency of relative motion between the surfaces.
The magnitude of frictional force depends upon the normal force acting on the body
i.e. F n
F = N
where μ = coefficient of friction
In case of motion (i.e. object mvoes slowly
F ≥ f (F = external force)
ma N
ma mg (N= mg)
a g
i.e. a = g
⮚ Tension :
When a body is connected by means of a string or a rope, a force may be exerted on the body by
the string or the rope. This force is called tension.
To find the direction of tension, remember this point “Tension force always pulls a body”.
For example
Regarding the tension and string, the following three points are important to remember.
2. If a string is massless, the tension in it is same everywhere, however, if a sting has a mass,
tension at different points will be different.
3. If there is friction between string and pulley, tension is different on two sides of the pulley,
but if there is no friction between pulley and string tension will be same on both sides of the pulley.
If a pulley is massless, net force on it is zero if it is accelerated. For example in the figure.
T1 = 2T2 whether the pulley is accelerated on not provided the pulley is massless.
The following examples show the free body diagrams of different bodies
To draw the free body diagram of any body keep in mind the following points.
1. We have to represent weight for every body. (If we assume pulleys are massless then we
will not represent weight)
2. Observer whether the body is in contact with the other body (surface). If it is in contact
with any surface then we have to represent normal reaction force and frictional force
(if any).
3. If there is any string attached with the body then we have to represent tension force.
Solution: The free body diagram of the cylinder is as shown in the figure.
Here, w = weight of cylinder and N1 and N2 are normal reaction between the
cylinder and the two inclined walls.
Illustrations –13: Three blocks A, B and C are placed one over the other as shown in the figure.
Draw free body diagrams of all the three blocks. (All the surfaces are frictionless).
The surfaces between m1 and M and m2 and ground are rough and between M
and ground smooth. Draw the free body diagrams of (a) block m1 (b) block m2 (c) block M.

KEY POINTS
⮚ Newton’s First Law of Motion every body continues to be in a state of rest or uniform
motion in a straight line, except observation external force acts on the body under observation
⮚ This law states “the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the
force applied on the body and change in direction of the momentum takes place in the direction of
the force”.
⮚ Newton’s third law of motion to every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction
(force). force never occurs singly in nature. force is the result of mutual interaction between two
bodies. mutual forces between two bodies are always equal and opposite.
⮚ Frictional force (f) is the component of the contact force parallel to the surface of contact.
the direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of relative motion between the
surfaces, or is such as to oppose any tendency of relative motion between the surfaces.
⮚ Tension when a body is connected by means of a string or a rope, a force may be exerted
on the body by the string or the rope. this force is called tension.
