Az... above ‘Answer (etailed Solution Below) Option 3: momentum Motion Question 4 Detailed Solution‘So, the correct option is momentum. Concept: Sir Isaac Newton has given three laws to describe the motion of an object. These laws are known as Newton's laws of, motion. Newton's First Law Of Motion: + A body that continues to its state of rest will remain in uniform speed in a straight ine unless and until it is compelled by an external force to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. + Newtor's first law recognizes that everybody has some inertia. + Inertia is an intrinsic property of the body by the virtue of which it resists a changein its ‘state of rest or of uniform motion. Newton's Second Law Of Motion i + The net force applied to a body is equal to the rate of change of momentum. + For the case of mass, force equals mass times accelerat + F=mxa (Where F = force applied, m = mass, and, a acceleration) Newton's Third Law Of Motion ~ + It states that for every action there wll be an equal and opposite reaction. + ie. when one object everts a force on the other object, the first object experiences a force which is equal in magnitude in the opposite direction of the force which is exerted”. Explanation: * The rockets work on the principle of action and reaction which is one of the illustrations of Newtons third law of motion. + The hot gases produced by the rapid burning of the fuel rush out of the jet at the bottom of the rocket at a very high speed. * Rocket in other words also works on the principle of conservation of momentum. + A rocket ejaculates gases in a backward direction which creates momentum of the gases backward and thus by conservation of momentum, the rocket gets momentum in the forward direction making it move forward. ee areca poesia) Slee ee el) Rea cc ees rl hes pao Download App Question 5: View this Question Online > Which of the following is NOT an application of third law of motion? 1.

Motion Question 6 Detailed Solution ‘The correct answer is Newtons first law. © Key Points* Newtor's laws of motion- - Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed uniessit is acted upon by force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia. The aw of inertia wes fist formulated by Galileo Galilei for horizontal motion on Earth and was later generalized by René Descartes. ™ Before Galileo, it had been thought that all horizontal motion required a direct cause. Still, Galileo deduced from his experiments that a body in motion would remain in motion unless a force (such as friction) caused it to come torest: Newton's second law is a quantitative deseription of the changes thet a force can produce in a bodys motion. ’ m Itstates that the ona ge of @ body's momentum is equal in both magnitude and ditection to the force nit @ The momentum of a body is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity. Momentum, like velocity, isa vector quartity, having both magnitude and direction @ A force applied to a body can change the magnitude of the momentum, direction, or both For a body whose mass m is constant, it can be written in F =ma, where F (force) and an (acceleration) are vecior quantities, i Ifa body has a net force acting on it, itis sccelerated by the equation, Conversely, if abody is not accelerated, there is no net force acting on it. Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction, This law is important in analyzing static equilibrium problems, where al forces are balanced, but it also applies to bodies in uniform or accelerated motion The forces it desoribes are real ones, not mere bookkeeping devices, For example, a book resting on a table applies a downward force equel to its weight on the table. ‘According to the third law, the table applies an equal and opposite force to the book. This force occurs because the book's weight causes the table to deform slightly so that it pushes back on the Dook like a coiled spring ra Pee er ec Cetra Start Complete Exam Preparation ra Pac Seed aia Bsc US} Question Bank peers Download App Question 7 View this Question Online An echo returned in 2s.

This sound which we hear is called an echo. © Echoes are heard due to the phenomenon of Reflection of sound waves. » To hear the echo clearly the reflecting object must be more than 17.2m from the sound source for the echo to be heard by a person standing at the source.

To increase life of the shoes Answer (Qetailed Solution Belov) Option 3 : To increase friction Motion Question 8 Detailed Solution ‘The correct answer is To increase friction. CONCEPT: + Friction: Friction is a contact force when two surfaces interact. + Friction, a force that resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another, EXPLANATION: + Insoles of the shoes, they are teated te make their surface rough so that the frictional force is increased when they are used. + The tyres of the vehicle are: -sded to increase friction and prevent slipping. + Forexample, tires are treade uve the risk of slipping and increase friction during the rainy or wet road, the ‘same caseis true for treaded shoes. + Friction finds application during matchsticks are ignited. + The motion of pistons in a eylinderis an application of friction + Itis possible to write on books and board because there is friction between the pen and the board.
