    Study Notes

    Student walks from classroom to library

    • A student walks from their classroom to the library in 50 min, 1 min 15 seconds.
    • Average speed in m/s: 0.5 m/s.
    • Average speed in km/hr: 1.8 km/hr

    Total Distance Walked

    • Total distance covered by the boy in walking from his home to school: 1200 m.
    • Distance in east: 800m
    • Distance in south: 1200m

    Possible effects on the speed of a car

    • If a car increases its speed, then the car continues to go in a constant direction
    • If an unbalanced force acts on the car, the car's speed will increase, decrease or change directions.

    Christmas Balls

    • The forces that are acting on the Christmas Balls are balanced.
    • The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
    • The forces are balanced, which are equal in magnitude.

    Unbalanced force acting on a rod

    • If an unbalanced force acts on one end of a rod, the rod will rotate.
    • The mango fruit will fall down towards the ground due to the unbalanced force.
