Study Notes
Change of Momentum
- Change of momentum in time ∆t = ∆p
- Rate of change of momentum = ∆p / ∆t
Newton's Second Law of Motion
- Applied force ∝ rate of change of momentum
- ∆p / ∆t = kF, where k is a constant of proportionality
- Instantaneous momentum can be obtained by taking the limiting value of ∆t as 0
Force
- Force is an external agency that changes or tends to change the state of rest or uniform motion of a body
- Effects of force:
- Can change the speed of an object
- Can change the direction of motion of an object
- Can change the shape of an object
Linear Momentum
- Momentum of a body is defined as the product of mass and velocity of the body (P = mv)
- It is a vector quantity with the same direction as the velocity of the body
- SI unit is kgms⁻¹ and dimensional formula is [MLT⁻¹]
Properties of Linear Momentum
- Linear momenta of bodies with equal masses are proportional to their velocities
- Linear momenta of bodies with equal velocities are proportional to their masses
Inertia
- Inertia is the inherent property of a body that makes it continue to be in the same state of rest or uniform motion
- Inertia of a body is directly proportional to its mass
- Types of inertia:
- Inertia of rest
- Inertia of motion
- Inertia of direction
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First law of motion:
- Everybody continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by an external force to change that state
- The law of inertia: a body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless an external force acts on it
