    Study Notes

    Forces

    • When an unbalanced force acts on a resting body, it produces motion.
    • Unbalanced forces are forces in which the resultant of all the forces acting on a body is not zero.
    • Unbalanced forces can change the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

    Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

    • Balanced forces do not change the state of rest or motion of a body.
    • Balanced forces do not produce acceleration or deceleration.
    • Balanced forces can change the shape of the body but not the direction of motion.
    • The resultant of all the forces acting on a body is zero in balanced forces.

    Velocity

    • Velocity is the distance travelled by a body per unit time in a specified direction.
    • Velocity tells us how fast a body is moving along a particular direction.
    • Speed gives us an idea of how fast a body is moving, but it does not tell us the direction.

    Acceleration

    • If the change in velocity of a moving object is equal in equal intervals of time, the object is said to be moving with a uniform acceleration.
    • Uniform acceleration is when a body travels in a straight line and its velocity increases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time.
    • Non-uniform acceleration is when the change in velocity of a moving object is not equal in equal intervals of time.

    Retardation

    • Retardation is also known as deceleration or negative acceleration.
    • If the velocity of a body decreases, the acceleration is negative.

    Momentum

    • Momentum of a body at rest is zero.
    • Momentum is a vector quantity, possessing both magnitude and direction.
    • The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity.
    • The SI unit of momentum is kilogram meter per second (kgm/s).
    • Momentum depends on both mass and velocity.

    Pressure

    • Pressure at a point vertically beneath the surface of a liquid is given by P = h ρ g.
    • Factors affecting the pressure at a point in a liquid are:
      • Depth of the point below the free surface (height of the liquid column)
      • Density of the liquid
      • Acceleration due to gravity
    • Pressure at a point at a certain depth in a liquid:
      • Is same in all directions
      • Applies force at 90° to any contact surface
      • Does not depend on the shape of the container
