Almost all isolated systems. 3.13 When a gun is fired, it recoils. Why?

[L.B. 2018]

Gun Recoils: The gun recoils to conserve the momentum of system. Before firing, both the gun and bullet are at rest, so the total momentum of system is zero. The bullet gets momentum when fired, so the gun recoils in opposite direction. 3.14 Describe two conditions in which force of friction is needed.

(1) Tension in a string Tension: “The force acting along a stretched string is called as tension.” (2) Limiting Force of Friction:: ““The maximum amount of friction that can be generated between two static surfaces in contact with each other is referred as limiting force of friction.” (3) Braking Force: “A A sufficient amount of friction must be generated between tyres of vehicle and surface of track which can stop the vehicle, this friction is called braking br force.” (4) Skidding of Vehicle: “If brakes are applied too strongly, the tyres of vehicle will lock up (stop turning) and will slip on the track. This slipping is called skidding of vehicle.” (5) Seatbelts: Seatbelts secure the person sitting in fast ast moving vehicle from harmful collision. When brakes are applied the person inside the vehicle continues his motion due to inertia and may collide with windscreen or any other thing. (6) Banking of Roads:: “Banking of road means that outer edge of road is raised.” raised Advantage: Banking causes a component of vehicle’s weight to provide necessary centripetal force while taking a turn.

4.6 When a body is said to be in equilibrium? [L.B. 2015,16] According to 1st condition: “A body is said to be in equilibrium if resultant of all forces acting on it is zero.” According to 2nd condition: “A body is said to be in equilibrium if resultant of all torques acting on it is zero.” So, a body is in equilibrium if it satisfies either both or any one condition for equilibrium. 4.7 Explain the first condition for equilibrium. First Condition: “A body is said to satisfy 1st condition for equilibrium if resultant of all forces acting on it is zero.” H1 = I Example: A book lying on the table or a picture hanging on the wall satisfy the 1st condition for equilibrium. 4.8 Why there is a need of second condition for equilibrium if a body satisfies first condition for equilibrium? Need of 2nd Condition: Only the 1st condition for equilibrium does not ensure that a body is in equilibrium as in the figure (a) resultant of F1 and F2 is zero (1st condition is satisfied). When location of F1 and F2 is shifted as in figure (b), the body has tendency to rotate. So F 2 body is not in equilibrium. 4.9 What is second condition for equilibrium?

[L.B. 2016,18]

Second Condition: “A body is said to satisfy 2nd condition for equilibrium if resultant of all torques acting on it is zero.” HB = I Example: A ladder leaning at a wall satisfies the 2nd condition for equilibrium. 4.10 Give an example of a moving body which is in equilibrium.

A paratrooper coming down with terminal velocity (constant velocity) also satisfies 1st condition for equilibrium. 4.11 Think of a body which is at rest but not in equilibrium.

[L.B. 2016]

Body at Rest: In ideal situation, two forces act on a body thrown vertically upward. One is the applied force vertically upward and other is weight vertically downward. At peak point, body is at rest and applied force is zero but weight acts on body. Hence body is not in equilibrium in presence of single force.

4.12 Why a body cannot be in equilibrium due to single force acting on it?

[L.B. 2015]

Single Force: Because single force cannot make resultant force to be zero. Hence the body is not in equilibrium. 4.13 Whyy the height of vehicles is kept as low as possible? Height of Vehicles:: The height of vehicles is kept low to make centre off gravity as lower as possible which makes the equilibrium of vehicle more stable. 4.13 Explain what is meant by stable, unstable and neutral equilibrium. Give an example in each case. Stable Equilibrium:: “A body is said to be in stable equilibrium if after a slight tilt it returns to its previous position.� Example: When we slightly tilt a book lying on table by lifting it from opposite side, it returns to previous position. This state of book is stable equilibrium. Unstable Equilibrium:: “A body is said to be in unstable equilibrium if after a slight tilt it does not return to its previous position.� Example: A pencil balanced on its tip is in unstable equilibrium.

5.4 What is a field force?

Field Force: “Field force is such a force which one body can apply on other weather the body is in contact with it or not.” Example: Gravitational force is an example of field force. [L.B. 2017]

5.5 Why earlier scientists could not guess about gravitational force?

Guess about Gravitational Force: Due to very small value of G, the gravitational force of attraction between objects around us is very small. That is why earlier scientists could not guess it. 5.6 How can you say that gravitational force is a field force? Gravitational Field Force: The velocity of a body, thrown up, goes on decreasing while on returns its velocity goes on increasing. The earth’s gravitational force produces acceleration in the body weather the body is in contact with earth or not. So earth’s gravitational force is a field force. 5.7 Explain, what is meant by gravitational field strength?
