Force
: Push of pull
on an object is called force.
It is defined as the push of pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity. It is a vector quantity. Example : To open or close the door .

Effect of Force
· Force can move a stationary
object
· Force can stop a moving object.
· Force can change the direction of
moving object.
· Force can change the speed of
moving object.
Type of Force
Balanced
force : if the
resultant of applied force is equal to zero, than it is called balanced force .

F = ma
(F : force M : mass a : acceleration )
SI unit of force is newton (N)
Newton’s
laws of motion
Newton
studies the idea of Galileo and gave the three laws of motion
· First law of motion – Inertia
· Second law of motion – Momentum
· Third law of motion
First law of motion – Any object at rest remains in the state of rest and any object in motion will continue in motion along a straight line with uniform speed until it is compelled y an external force to change its state.
Inertia : It is the tendency of object due to which it resists any change in its state of rest or uniform motion .
·
Inertia
of any object measured by its mass.
·
Inertia
is directly proportional to the mass.
Example : When we stop cycling: This is an example of inertia of motion that each of us must have experienced at some point. When we ride a bicycle, it accelerates from rest. But, when we stop pedaling it continues for some time till it stops due to friction
Momentum: Product of mass and velocity of an object is called momentum.
It is denoted by “P”
P = m * v ( mv )
·
Momentum
increase with increase of either mass or velocity of an object.
·
Vehicle
running with high speed have greater momentum as compared to vehicle running
with slower speed.
Small object moving with great velocity have high momentum.
Second law
of motion : It state
that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force
applied in the direction of force .
Force α rate of change of momentum
Mass = m
Initial
velocity = u
Final
velocity = v
Initial momentum
= mu
Final momentum
= mv
F α mv-mu
____________
T
F α m( v-u)
____________
T
F α ma
F = K ma
( K = 1)
F = ma
SI unit = kg m/s2 or Newton
Third law of
motion : It state
that if a body exerts a force on second
body , the second body exert a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction .
· Every action has an equal
opposite reaction
· Force exerted by fist body is
action and force exerted by second body is reaction.
Example :
walking , jumping from boat.
Frictional Force : The force which always opposes the motion of one body over another body is called frictional force .
