Why a standard unit is need to measure a quantity correctly.
Ans:
Various units have been in use in different times in different parts of the world. The fast means of communication
systems have changed the world into a global village. Due to this reason an international system of units for mutual
business became essential.
The eleventh general conference of weights and measures recommended that all the countries of world should adopted a
system of same kind of standard units, consisting of seven base units known as international system of units (SI) and
derived units.
Q: What is meant by base and derived units? Give three examples of derived units and explain how they are
derived from base units.
Ans:
Base Units:
The units of base quantities are called base units.
Examples:
Kilogram (kg), meter (m), second (s), Ampere (A)
Derived Units:
The units of derived quantities which are derived from base units are called derived units.
Examples:
Unit of Area: m2 .
Unit of Volume: m3
Unit of Density: Kg m-3
Unit of speed: meter per second (ms-1),
Unit of weight: Newton
Unit of force: Newton,
Unit of Pressure: Pascal

5. Temperature Kelvin( K
6. Intensity of light Candela(cd
7. Amount of substance(Mole mol
Q: Where multiples and sub-multiples of units are used? Describe some standard prefaces which are
internationally used.
Ans. Multiples and sub-multiples of units are used to make very large and very small mathematical calculations easier. The
multiples and sub-multiples are obtained by multiplying or dividing with ten or power of tens.
The terms used internationally for the multiples and sub-multiples for different units are called prefixes.
Q: What is the use of vernier calipers?

Q1.7 What is meant by its vernier constant?
Ans.
A vernier calliper can be used to measure lengths accurately up to one tenth of a millimetre.
Least Count/Vernier Constant
The minimum length which can be measured accurately with the help of vernier scale or vernier calipers is called
least count.
Least count of vernier calliper is 1/10 mm or 0.1 cm which is also called vernier constant.
5
Page

Q: Explain the statement “A micrometer screw gauge measures more accurately than a vernier caliper”?
Ans.
Least Count: The minimum length which can be measured accurately is called least count of any measuring device.
The least count of micrometer screw gauge is 0.01 mm and that of Vernier calliper is 0.1. cm. So a micrometer screw
gauge measures more accurately than a vernier calliper.
Significant figures:
All accurately known digits and the first doubtful digit in an expression are called significant figures. It reflects the
precision of a measured value of a physical quantity.
RULES TO FIND THE SIGNIFICANT FIGURE IN A MEASUREMENT:
(i) Digits other than zero are always significant.
27 have 2 significant digits.
(ii) Zeroes between significant digits are also significant.
(iii) Final zero or zero after decimal are significant.
275.00 have 5 significant digits.
(iv) Zero used for spacing the decimal points is not significant.
Here zero is place holders only.
0.03 has 1 significant digit.
0.027 has 2 significant digits.
(v) In whole numbers that end in 1 or more zero without a decimal point. These zeroes may or may not be significant. In
such cases, it is not clear which zero serve to locate the position value and which are actually parts of measurements. In
such a case, express the quantity using scientific notation to find the significant zero.
APPLICATION OF PHYSICS
Physics play an important role in our daily life. We hardly find a device where physics is not involved. Consider pulleys
make it easy to left heavy loads. Electricity is not used only to get light and heat but also mechanical energy that derives
fans electric motors ctc.Consider the means of transportation such as car and aeroplanes domestic appliances such as
air conditioners refrigerators vacuum cleaners washing machine and micro wave ovens etc.Similarly the means of
6
communication such as radio T V telephone are the result of application of physics. These devices made our lives much
Page
comfortable and easier than the past.

Derivation of Equation of Motion (Graphically)

First Equation of Motion
Consider an object moving with a uniform velocity u in a straight line. Let it be, given a uniform acceleration at time, t = 0
when its initial velocity is Vi. As a result of the acceleration, its velocity increases to Vf (final velocity) in time t and s is the
distance covered by the object in time t. The figure shows the velocity-time graph of the motion of the object.
17
Page

Slope of the Vf - t graph gives the acceleration of the moving object.
Thus, acceleration = slope = AB = BC/AC
Where BD=Vf, CD=Vi, AC= OD=t BC=BD-CD
(Average,acceleration(aav)= ChangeinVelocity/time)
Slope=AB= Vf - Vi/ t
a = Vf - Vi/ t
Vf – Vi = at
Vf = Vi + at ........................................................(1)
Second Equation of Motion

Let Vi be the initial velocity of an object and 'a' the acceleration produced in
the body. The distance travelled s in time t is given by the area enclosed by
the velocity-time graph for the time interval 0 to t.
Distance travelled S = area of the trapezium ABDO

Third Equation of Motion
Let 'vi' be the initial velocity of an object and a be the acceleration produced in the body. The distance travelled’s’ in time’t’

But we know that a =( Vf - Vi )t

Or t = (Vf - Vi )a
Substituting the value of t in eq. (1) we get,

s = ( ) (Vi + Vf)( Vf − Vi)a = ( ) (Vf + Vi)( Vf − Vi)a
2 2
2as = (Vf + Vi) ( Vf - Vi )

(Vf + Vi)( Vf - Vi) = 2as [using the identity a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)]
v2 - Vi 2 = 2as........... Third Equation of Motion
Acceleration Due To Gravity Or Free Falling Objects

“Galileo was the first scientist to observe that, neglecting the effect of air resistance, all bodies in free-fall close to the
Earth’s surface accelerate vertically downwards with the same acceleration: namely 9.8 m/s 2″
Example
If a ball is thrown vertically upward, it rises to a particular height and then falls back to the ground. However this is due to
the attraction of the earth which pulls the object towards the ground”
Characteristic Of Free Falling Bodies
1. When a body is thrown vertically upward, its velocity continuously decreases and become zero at a particular height
During this motion the value of acceleration is negative and Vf is equal to zero
19
(a = -9.8m/s2 , Vf = 0).
Page
2. When a body falls back to the ground , its velocity continuously increases and become maximum at a particular height

During this motion the value of acceleration is positive and Vi is equal to zero (a = 9.8m/s2 , Vi = 0).
3. Acceleration due to gravity is denoted by a and its value is 9.8m/s2 .
4. Equation of motion for the free-falling bodies be written as,
Vf = Vi + gt

P 2.6) A train starts from the nest with an acceleration of 0.5m𝒔−𝟐 . Find its speed in 𝒌𝒎𝒉−𝟏 when it has
moved through 100m.
Solution:
Initial Velocity Vi= 0
Acceleration a= 0.5𝑚𝑠 −2
Distance s= 100m
Final Velocity Vf=?
To find the final Velocity we have to find the time. By using 2nd equation of motion:
S= vit+1/2𝑎𝑡 2
By putting the values:
100= (0)t+1/2(0.5)(𝑡 2 )

Solution:
The situation can be divided into two parts. The parts 1 data is as follows:
Initial Velocity Vi= 96 km/h
= 96x1000/3600= 26.66m/s
Final Velocity Vf= 48km/h

Distance s= 800m
Acceleration a=?
By using 3rd equation of motion:
2aS= V𝑓 2 - V;2

Chapter # 3 Dynamics
1. FORCE
The Force is an agent which produces or tends to produce a motion in a body or it stops or tends to stop the motion of a
body. In simple words we can also say that force is an agent which changes or tends to change the state of an object.
UNIT
The unit of a Force in M.K.S System is Newton
2. MASS
The quantity of matter contained in a body is called mass. It is a scalar quantity.
FORMULA
F = ma
m = F/a
UNIT
The unit of mass in M.K.S System is Kilogram (kg).
3. WEIGHT
25
The force with which earth attracts other bodies towards its centre is called weight. It is a vector quantity.
Page
FORMULA; W = mg

UNIT
The unit of weight in M.K.S System is Newton (N).
INERTIA
Definition
“Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist a change in its state.”
Examples
Cover a glass with a post card and place a coin on it. Now strike the post card swiftly with the nail of your finger. If the
stroke has been made correctly, the postcard will be thrown away and the coin will drop in the glass.
If a moving bus stops suddenly, the passenger standing in it feels a jerk in the forward direction. As a result he may fall. It
is due to the fact that the lower part of the standing passengers comes to rest as the bus stops. But the upper portion
remains in motion due to inertia.
Difference between Mass and Weight
Mass
1. The quantity of matter present in a body is called mass.
2. The mass of a body remains constant everywhere and does not change by change in altitude.
3. It is a scalar quantity.
4. Mass can be determined by a physical balance.
Weight
1. The force with which the earth attracts a body towards its centre is called the weight of the body.
2. The weight of a body is not constant. It is changed by altitude.
3. Weight is always directed towards the center of the earth. So it is a vector quantity.
4. Weight can be determined by only a spring balance.
MOMENTUM
“The quantity or quality of motion is called momentum and it is denoted by P”
26
Page

MATHEMATICAL DEFINITION
“It is the product of mass and velocity.”
MATHEMATICAL REPRESENTATION
P = mV
where:
p is the momentum
m is the mass
v the velocity
LAW OF MOTIONS
Newton formulated three laws of motion in his book.
NEWTON FIRST LAW OF MOTIONS
Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the Law of Inertia.
STATEMENT
“Every body continues its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line until it is acted upon by an external or
unbalance force to change its state of rest or uniform motion”.
EXPLANATION
This law consists of a two parts
(a) When body is at rest
(b) When body is moving with uniform velocity
(a). When a body is at rest
Newton’s Law states that when a body is at rest, it continues its rest unless we apply a force on it. When we apply a force,
it changes its state of rest and starts moving along a straight line.
(b) When body is moving with a uniform velocity
Newton’s Law states that when a body is moving, it moves in a straight line with uniform velocity, but when we apply an
27
opposite force, it changes its state of motion and come to rest.

Page

Examples
If a bus suddenly starts moving, the passengers standing in the bus will fall in the backward direction. It is due to the
reason that the lower part of the passengers which is in contract with the floor of the bus is carried forward by the
motion of the bus, but the upper part of the body remains at rest due to inertia and so the passengers fall in backward
direction.
If a bus suddenly stops moving, the passengers standing in the bus will fall in the forward direction. It is due to the reason
that the lower part of the passengers which is in contract with the floor of the bus is stopped with the bus, but the upper
part of the body remains moving due to inertia and so the passengers fall in forward direction.
SECOND LAW OF MOTION
STATEMENT
“When a force acts on an object it produces an acceleration which is directly proportion to the amount of the force and
inversely proportional to the product of mass”
EXPLANATION
When we push a body with greater force then its velocity increases and change of velocity takes place in the direction of
the force. If we apply a certain force F on a mass m, then it moves with certain velocity in the direction of the force. If the
force becomes twice then its velocity will also increase two times. In this way if we go on increasing the fore there will be
increase in velocity, which will increase the acceleration.
DERIVATION
According to the Newton`s Second law of motion when a force acts on an object it produces an acceleration which is
directly proportion to the amount of the force.

THIRD LAW OF MOTION
Statement:
“To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction ”
EXPLANATION
According to Newton’s Law of Motion, we have:
F(action) = – F(reaction)
The negative (-) sign indicates that the two forces are parallel but in the opposite direction. If we consider one of the
interacting objects as A and the other as B, then according to the third law of motion:
F(AB) = – F(BA)
F(AB) represents the force exerted on A and F(BA) is the force exerted on B.
Examples
We walk on the ground, we push the ground backward and as a reaction the ground pushes us forward. Due to this
reason we are able to move on the ground.
If a book is placed on the table, it exerts some force on the table, which is equal to the weight of the book. The table as a
29
reaction pushes the book upward. This is the reason that the book is stationary on the table and it does not fall down.
Page

FRICTION
Definition
The force, which resists the motion of one surface on another
surface, is known as
friction.
Explanation
Suppose a wooden block is placed on a table and a spring balance is attached on it. If we apply a very small force of
magnitude F by pulling the spring gradually and increase it, we observe that the block does not move until the applied
force has reached a critical value. If F is less then critical value, the block does not move. According to Newton’s Third
Law of motion an opposite force balance the force. This opposing force is known as the force of friction or friction.
CausesofFriction
If we see the surface of material bodies through microscope, we observe that they are not smooth. Even the most
polished surfaces are uneven. When one surface is placed over another, the elevations of one get interlocked with the
depression of the other. Thus they oppose relative motion. The opposition is known as friction.
Factors on which Friction Depends

The force of friction depends upon the following factors:
1. Normal Reaction (R)
Force of friction is directly proportional to normal reaction (R), which act upon the body in upward direction against the
weight of the body sliding on the surface.
2. Nature of Surfaces
Force of friction also depends upon the nature of the two surfaces. It is denoted as u and has constant values for every
30
surface. It is different for the two surfaces in contact.

Page

Coefficient Of Friction
The coefficient of friction is a number which represents the friction between two surfaces. Between two equal surfaces,
the coefficient of friction will be the same. The symbol usually used for the coefficient of friction is Greek letter µ, where 0
≤µ≤1. The
maximum frictional force (when a body is sliding) is equal to the coefficient of friction × the
normal reaction force. F=µ
R
Where µ is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction force.
This frictional force, F, will act parallel to the surfaces in contact and in a direction to oppose the motion that is taking/
trying to take place.
Advantages of Friction
1. We could not walk without the friction between our shoes and the ground. As we try to step forward, we push our foot
backward. Friction holds our shoe to the ground, allowing you to walk.
2. Writing with a pencil requires friction. We could not hold a pencil in our hand without friction.
3. A nail stays in wood due to friction
4. Nut and bold hold due to friction
DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTION
1. In any type of vehicle–such as a car, boat or airplane–excess friction means that extra fuel must be used to power the
vehicle. In other words, fuel or energy is wasted because of the friction.
2. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the amount of energy remains constant. Thus, the energy that is “lost” to
friction in trying to move an object is really turned to heat energy. The friction of parts rubbing together creates heat.
3. Due to the friction a machine has less efficiency less than 100%.
4. Due to friction machine catch fire.
31
Laws of Friction
Page

Statement
The value of limiting friction increases proportionally with the increase in normal reaction. Hence, liming friction F(s) is
directly proportional to the normal reaction.
F(s) < R (Here < represents the sign of proportionality don’t’ write it in the examination paper.)
=> Fs = µ R ……….. (i)
u = F(s)/R
u is the constant of proportionality, which depends upon the nature of the surfaces of the two surfaces in contact. It is
known as the coefficient of friction. It is only a number without any unit. We know that the normal reaction is directly
proportional to the weight of the block, therefore,
R = W = mg
Substituting the value of R in equation (i)
=> Fs = µ mg
Rolling Friction
When a body rolls over a surface, the force of friction is called rolling friction. Rolling friction is much less than the sliding
friction. This is because the surfaces in contact are very much less.
LONG QUESTIONS
Question: Explain the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
This law states that
“When two or more bodies collide with one another the total momentum of the
system remains the same, provided no external force acts upon them.”
Explanation: -
The law of conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of nature, and it states that the total momentum of an isolated
system of objects (which has no interactions with external agents) is constant. One of the consequences of this is that the
of any centre of mass system of objects will always continue with the same velocity unless acted on by a force outside the
system.
32
Page

Consider two balls of masses m 1 and m2 . They are initially moving with velocities u1and u2 in same direction on a straight
line. If u1 > u2 , then the balls will collide. Let their velocities becomes v1 and v2 after collision.
Total momentum of balls before collision = m1u1 + m2u2
Total momentum of balls after collision = m1v1 + m2 v2
According to Law of conservation of momentum
Total Momentum before collision = Total Momentum after collision
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2 v2
Rockets and jet engines also work on the same principle. In these machines, hot gases produced by burning of fuel rush out
with large momentum. The machines gain an equal and opposite momentum. This enables them to move with very high
velocities.
Question: Define friction and describe the types of friction?

Question: What is force of friction? How friction can be reduced?
Friction: -
The force, which resists the motion of one surface on another surface, is known as
friction.
Methods to reduce friction: -
i) Sliding parts should be highly polished to reduce friction.
ii) Friction of liquids is less than solids. Therefore oil or grease is applied between the parts of machinery.
iii) Rolling friction is less then sliding friction. Therefore sliding friction should be converted to rolling friction by using ball
bearings.
iv) Front side of vehicles, aeroplanes and ships are shaped wedge like and pointed so that minimum friction is offered by
air.
Centripetal Force
Definition
“The force that causes an object to move along a curve (or a curved path) is called centripetal force.”
Mathematical Expression
33
We know that the magnitude of centripetal acceleration of a body in a uniform circular motions is directly proportional to
Page

the square of velocity and inversely proportional to the radius of the path Therefore,
a(c) ∝v2
a(c) ∝ 1/r
Combining both the equations:
a(c) ∝ v2/r
From Newton’s Second Law of Motion:
F = ma
=> F(c) = mv2/r
Where,
Fc = Centripetal Force m = Mass of object
v = Velocity of object r = Radius of the curved path
Banking of the roads Factors on which Fc Depends:

Fc depends upon the following factors:
Increase in the mass will increases Fc.
It increases with the square of velocity.
It decreases with the increase in radius of the curved path.
When a car takes
Examples
The centripetal force required by natural planets to move constantly round a circle is provided by the gravitational force
of the sun.
If a stone tied to a string is whirled in a circle, the required centripetal force is supplied to it by our hand. As a reaction
the stone exerts an equal force which is felt by our hand.
The pilot while turning his aero plane tilts one wing in the upward direction so that the air pressure may provide the
34
required suitable Fc.

Page

Centrifugal Force
Definition
“A force supposed to act outward on a body moving in a curve is known as centrifugal force.”
Explanation
Centrifugal force is actually a reaction to the centripetal force. It is a well-known fact that Fc is directed towards the
centre of the circle, so the centrifugal force, which is a force of reaction, is directed away from the centre of the circle or
the curved path.
According to Newton’s third law of motion action and reaction do not act on the same body, so the centrifugal
force does not act on the body moving round a circle, but it acts on the body that provides Fc.
Examples
If a stone is tied to one end of a string and it is moved round a circle, then the force exerted on the string on outward
direction is called centrifugal force.
The aeroplane moving in a circle exerts force in a direction opposite to the pressure of air.
When a train rounds a curve, the centrifugal force is also exerted on the track.
Vertical motion of two bodies attached to the ends of a string that passes over a frictionless pulley
Consider two bodies A and B of masses m1 and m2 respectively, let m1 is greater than m2 . the bodies are attached to the
opposite ends of an inextensible string. The string passes over a frictionless pulley. the body A being heavier must be
moving downward with some acceleration. Let this acceleration be a. At the same time, the body B attached to the other
end of the string moves up with the same acceleration a. As the pulley is frictionless, hence tension will be the same
35
throughout the string. Let the tension in the string be T.

Page

Since the body A moves downwards, hence its weight m1g is greater than the tension T in the string.
Net force acting on body A=m1g-T
According to the Newton’s law of motion:
m1g-T = m1a ..... ...... 1)
As body B moves upwards, hence its weight m2g is less than the tension T in the string.
Net force acting on body B = T – m2g
According to Newton law
T- m2g = m2a ...... ..... 2)
Adding Eq.1and Eq 2 , we get acceleration a.

Motion of two bodies attached to the ends of a string that passes over a frictionless pulley such that one body
moves vertically and the other moves on A smooth horizontal surface
Consider two bodies A and B masses m1 and m2 respectively attached to the ends of an inextensible string as shown in the
figure above.Let the body A moves downwards with an acceleration a. Since the string is inextensible, therefore, body B
also moves over the horizontal surface with the same acceleration a. As the pulley is frictionless hence tension T will be
37
the same throughout the string.

Page

Since body A moves downwards, therefore, its weight m1g is greater than the tension in T in the string.
Net force acting on the body A = m1g – T
According to the Newton’s second law of motion:
m1g – T = m1a ... ... ... (1)
The forces acting on the body are:
I. Weight m2g of the body B acting downwards.
II. Reaction R of the horizontal surface acting on the body B in the upward direction.
III. Tension in the string pulling the body B horizontally on the smooth surface.
As body B has no vertical motion, hence resultant of vertical forces (m2g and R) must be zero.
Thus the net force acting on the body B is T.
According to the Newton’s second law of motion:
T = m2a ... ... ... (2)
Adding eqs. 1 and 2, we get acceleration a as:
𝑚 1g –T + T =m1a+ m2a
𝑚 1g = a(m1+m2)
𝑚1
a= g ... (3)
𝑚1+𝑚2
Putting the value of a in equations 2 to get tension T as:

𝑚1 𝑚2
T= g ... ... ... (4)
𝑚1+𝑚2
FORCE AND THE MOMENTUM:
Consider a body of mass m moving with initial velocity Vi. Let a force F acts on the body which produces an acceleration a
in it. This changes the velocity of the body. Let its final velocity after time t becomes Vf. if Pi and Pf be the initial momentum
38
and the final momentum related to the body related to the initial and the final velocity respectively then:
Page
Pi = mvi and Pf = mvf

Changes in momentum = Final momentum – initial momentum
Or Pf – Pi = mvf - mvi
Thus the rate of change in momentum given by:
p − p mv − mv
=

vf − vi

vf − vi
Since is the rate of change of velocity equal to the acceleration a produced by the force F.

momentum of the body.”

F=mg
F= 10 x 10= 100 N Ans
P3.4) Find the acceleration produce by a force of 100 N in a mass of 50 kg?

Solution:
Acceleration a =?
Force F = 100 N
Mass m = 50kg
Formula:
F
F= ma a=
𝑚
a=100/50 = 2ms-2
P3.5) A body has weight 20N how much force is required to move it vertically upward with an acceleration of
20ms-2?
Solution:
Weight W = 20N
Acceleration a = 20ms-2
Force F=?
To find out force we have to first calculate the Mass of the body
To find out the mass to use W= mg m = w/g m= 20/10 m = 2kg
So he net force will take the body upward will be
Net force F = W
F= ma
W = mg
43
The g will be negative because body is moving upward so

Page
W = -mg

Net force F = F-W
ma – m(-g )
ma + mg
m(a +g)
2 (2+10)
Force F= 24N Ans
P3.6) Two masses 52kg and 48kg are attached to the end of the string that passes over a frictionless pulley. Find
the tension in the string and acceleration in the body? When the masses are moving vertically.
Solution:
m1 = 52kg
m2 = 58kg
T =?
a =?
First we find tension in the string
Formula:
2m1m2
T=( )g
𝑚1+𝑚2
T = 2(52) (48) (10)/ 52+48

T = 499.2N
T = 500N approximately Ans
Now we will find the acceleration
Formula:
m1 − m2
a= ( )g
𝑚1 +𝑚2
44
a = (52-48) (10)/ 52+48

Page

a= 4x10/100
a= 40/100
a= 0.4ms-2 Ans
P3.7) Two masses 26kg and 24kg are attached to the end of a string which passes over a frictionless pulley. 26kg
is lying over a smooth horigalal table .24kg mass is moving vertically downward. Find the tension in string and
acceleration in bodies.
Solution:
m1 = 24kg m2 = 26kg T =? a =?
Formula:
2m1m2
T=( )g
𝑚1+𝑚2
T = (24) (26) (10)/24+26

T = 124.8N
T = 125N
m1 − m2
Formula: a = ( )g
𝑚1 +𝑚2
= 24x10 / 24+ 26
a = 408ms-2 Ans
P3.8) How much time is required to change 22 Ns momentum by a force of 20 N?

Solution:
(Initial momentum) Pi = 22Ns
Pf = 0Ns F = 20N t =?
Formula:
45
Pf − Pi
=F
Page

Pf − Pi
F=
𝑡
= 0-22/ 20
t = -1.1s
As time cannot be negative to
t = 1.1s ANS
P3.9) How much is the force of friction between a wooden block of mass 5 kg and the horizontal marble floor?
The coefficient of friction between the wood and marble is 0.6
Solution:
Fr =? m= 5 kg u= 0.6 Formula Fr = UF
F = mg
5 x 10 = 50 N
Fr =UF
Fr = 0.6 x 50 = 30 N ANS
