move towards that object due to reaction? Explain.
Ans) But comparing to the mass of the earth, the mass of the free-falling object is negligible.
Hence the acceleration produced by the earth towards the object is also negligible. So we can
say the earth does not move toward the falling object.

2. A piece of ripe fruit that falls from the tree will fall in the direction the wind is
moving because of inertia.
3. Inertia keeps satellite moving in a circular motion.
4. When a passenger gets down from a moving bus, their upper body is still in motion, and
when it comes in contact with the ground which is at rest, their body topples forward due to the inertia
of motion.

3 = µ (15)(10)
µ = 0.02
11.
a) How anti-lock braking system prevents the risk of sliding?
Ans) When the sensors detect that the wheels have begun to lock, the pistons release the brakes a little
until the wheel has begun to accelerate once more. Once the wheel has begun to accelerate again, the
brakes are re-applied. Anti-lock braking system pulses the brakes in this manner to keep static friction in
play rather than the weaker force of kinetic friction, thus stopping the car more quickly than it would
with locked wheel.
b) Enlist any four uses of rolling friction in everyday life?

Ans) 1. Truck tires.
2. Ball bearings.
3. A soccer balls.
4. Basketball.
5. Rolls for rolling deformation process
are all examples of rolling friction.
12. Explore the following phenomenon in relation with dynamics.
a) When an air-filled balloon is released.
Ans) Releasing that air out through the neck of the balloon produces action in the direction the air
travels on exit. The balloon moves forward as the reaction to the action (according to Newton’s third
law) caused by the release of the pressurized air.
b) Riding a bicycle needs continuous paddling.
Ans) We apply a force on the wheels of the bicycle by continuous paddling. This force should be capable
enough to overcome the constraint forces like friction. If we stop paddling the constraint forces and the
bicycle will come to a state of rest slowly.
d) The biker ridding in the death well.
Ans) The two forces, the gravitational force and the force of friction, act in opposite directions and
compensate each other, while the normal reaction from the wall is what keeps the bike moving.
e) You always feel a pullback whenever you pull on your school bag or some heavier object.
Ans) Because the weight of that bag or Havier object pulls us back.
Q1: Why momentum is considered equal to zero when a body comes to rest?
Ans) Because momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so when velocity becomes zero
momentum will also become zero.
Q2: Why do you pull your hands while catching a fast-moving ball?
Ans) We pull our hands back while catching a fast-moving cricket ball, because by doing so, we
increase the time of catch, i.e. increase the time to bring about a given change in momentum, and
hence, the rate of change of momentum decreases. Thus, a small force is exerted on our hands by the
ball.
Q3:What is reason that you experience a jerk whenever the school bus stops all of sudden?
Ans) Because due to stop of bus our lower part also stops but upper part remains in motion due to
inertia.
Q4: Why it is dangerous to jump from a moving bus?
Ans) As the man lands on the ground, feet come to rest instantly while the upper part of the body
continue to move due to inertia of motion. Therefore, the person may fall forward. So, it is very
dangerous to jump out of a moving bus.
Q5: What is role of force according to Newton's second law of motion?
Ans) The role of Force is to bring about a change in the state of motion or rest of a body.
Q6: What happens according to Newton's third law, while you pull a catapult?
Ans) The marshmallow catapult was a demonstration of Newton's Third Law of Motion. "Pulling back
the lever is the action, and flinging forward the marshmallow catapult is the reaction.
Q7: Why mass does not differ, while weight differs from place to place?
Ans) Because mass is the amount of matter which does not differ by changing place while weight
depends upon acceleration due to gravity which differs from place to place thus weight also differs from
place to place.
Q8: Why do we feel pushed outward while a car turns on a curved road?
Ans) We feel pushed outward because the car wants to turn, centrifugal forces are pushing us away
from the turn, the force being outward.
Q9: Which force prevents a passenger from falling down a roller coaster while it turns the riders into
upside-down position?
Ans) Centripetal force prevents a passenger from falling down a roller coaster while turning the rider
into an upside-down position.
Q10: Why it is easier to walk wearing flat slippers than the high heel sandals?
Ans) Since the pressure is inversely proportional to area, hence, wider shoes exert less pressure, thus
the less deep it goes. Hence it is easier to walk with flat shoes because the pressure exerted on the
ground is lesser than for high heels.
Q11: Why leather sheet is used in brake drums of motor bike?

Ans) Leather is also used in the brake drums to lessen the heat generated by friction.

9. Calculate the mass of Earth by using Newton's law of gravitation.

Ans)
Mass of Earth: Mass of Earth can not be measured directly by placing it on any weighing scale. But it
can be measured by an indirect method. This method utilizes the Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Let us consider; Fig 6.5, in which a small ball is placed on the surface of Earth.
m - Mass of the ball.
ME - Mass of Earth.
G - Universal gravitational constant.
R - Radius of earth; which is also the distance between the ball and centre of earth.
Then according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force F of the Earth acts on
the ball is:
𝑚𝑀𝐸
F=G
𝑅𝐸2
Whereas the force with which Earth attracts the ball towards its centre is equal to the weight of the ball.
Therefore
F = W = mg
Comparing above equations; we get

𝑚𝑀𝐸
mg = G
𝑅𝐸2
67
Numerical values of the constants at right hand side of above equation are:
g = 10Nkg-1
RE = 6.38 ×106 m
G = 6.673 × 10-11 Nm2/ kg2
Substituting these values in above equation, we get:

10 Nkg−1 × (6.38 × 106 × m2) 2
ME =
6.673 × 10−11 Nm2kg−2
Thus, mass of Earth is 6.0 × 1024 kg.

cannot walk through a solid wall.

us when we are walking while according to kinetic molecular theory particles solid particles are just
vibrating so they do not pass through us when we try to walk.

5. An inflated car tyre is considered to have a constant volume, regardless of any changes in
temperature or pressure. Use the kinetic molecular theory of gases to answer the following:
a) How does air in the tyre exert a pressure on the walls of the tyre?
Ans) According to kinetic molecular theory particles of gas are in constant random motion during which
they collide with the walls of container, thus exerting pressure.
b) Why is the pressure the same at all points on the inside wall of the tyre?
Ans) The kinetic energy of a gas inside of an enclosed space suggests that the gas particles can move
anywhere within that space because of their "Random Motion." Due to this, there is an equal chance of
an amount of gas being in all areas of the tyre; suggesting that the pressure is all equal too.
77
c) More air is pumped into the tyre while the temperature is kept constant until there are twice as many
molecules as before. Explain why you would expect the pressure to be doubled.
Ans) According to kinetic molecular theory pressure is due to collisions of particles and because of
becoming of particles twice collisions become twice, thus pressure becomes twice.

Work:
1.
a) Define work?
Ans) Work: The amount of work is the product of force and the distance moved in the direction of
force.
b) Derive the equation; work = Fd cosθ
Ans) Derivation: Suppose a constant force “F” acts on a body and motion takes place in a straight line in
the direction of force then work done is equal to the product of magnitude of force “F” and the distance
“d” through which the body moves.
W=Fd
The force “F” however may not act in the direction of motion of the body instead it makes some angle
“θ” with it; Fig 8.2(b). In that case, we define the work by the force as the product of the component of
the force along the line of motion and the distance “d”; the body moves along that line, i.e.

b) Why small gaps are left at the joints of sections of railway tracks? Explain the phenomenon involved
in it.
Ans): The rail tracks are made up of metals and hence they expand in summer due to hot weather.
Hence, small gaps are left at the joints of sections of tracks.
When substance is heated by sun its atoms vibrate faster and their kinetic energy increases. As the
atoms vibrate faster the space between the atom increases. Due to this the atoms take up more space
and cause increase in size in railway tracks.
