Chapter 1 Units and Measurement 1.1 Introduction Measurement of any physical quantity involves comparison with a certain basic, internationally accepted reference standard called unit. The result of a measurement of a physical quantity is expressed by a number accompanied by a unit. Fundamental and Derived Quantities. The quantities ,which can be measured directly or indirectly are called physical quantities. There are two types of physical quantities- Fundamental quantities(Base quantities) and Derived quantities. ▪ The physical quantities, which are independent of each other and cannot be expressed in terms of other physical quantities are called fundamental quantities. Eg: length, mass, time. ▪ The physical quantities , which can be expressed in terms of fundamental quantities are called derived quantities. Eg: volume, velocity, force Fundamental and Derived Units ▪ The units for the fundamental or base quantities are called fundamental or base units. The units of all other physical quantities can be expressed as combinations of the base units. ▪ The units of the derived quantities are called derived units. 1.2 The International System of Units A complete set of both the base and derived units, is known as the system of units. Three such systems, the CGS, the FPS (or British) system and the MKS system were in use extensively till recently. The base units for length, mass and time in these systems were as follows : ▪ CGS system - centimetre, gram and second. ▪ FPS system - foot, pound and second. ▪ MKS system - metre, kilogram and second. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seema Elizabeth, HSST Physics, MARM Govt HSS Santhipuram Downloaded from hssreporter.com ▪ In 1971 the General Conference on Weights and Measures developed an internationally accepted system of units for measurement with standard scheme of symbols, units and abbreviations. ▪ This is the Système Internationale d’ Unites (French for International System of Units), abbreviated as SI system. ▪ SI system is now for international usage in scientific, technical, industrial and commercial work. In SI system there are seven base units and two supplementary units. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Multiples and Sub multiples of Units 1.3 Significant figures The result of measurement is a number that includes all digits in the number that are non reliable plus the first digit that is uncertain. The reliable digits plus the first uncertain digit in a measurement are known as significant digits or significant figures. If the period of oscillation of a symbol pendulum is 1.6 s, the digits 1 and 6 are reliable and certain, while the digit 2 is uncertain Downloaded from hssreporter.com Rule 6: The power of 10, in scientific notation is irrelevant to the determination of significant figures. Downloaded from hssreporter.com 4.700 m = 4.700 × 𝟏𝟎𝟐 cm = 4.700 × 𝟏𝟎𝟑 mm = 4.700 × 𝟏𝟎−𝟑 km All these numbers have 4 significant namaste figures. Rounding off the Uncertain Digits 1) If the insignificant digit to be dropped is more than 5, the preceding digit is raised by 1 A number 2.746 rounded off to three significant figures is 2.75 Here the insignificant digit , 6 > 5 and hence 1 is added to the preceeding digit 4.(4+1=5) 2) If the insignificant digit to be dropped less than 5, the preceding digit is left unchanged. A number 2.743 rounded off to three significant figures is be 2.74. Here the insignificant digit , 3< 5 and hence the preceeding number 4 does not change. 3) If the insignificant digit to be dropped is 5, Case i) If the preceding digit is even, the insignificant digit is simply dropped. A number 2.745 rounded off to three significant figures is 2.74. Here the preceding digit 4 is even and hence 5 is simply dropped. Case ii- ) If the preceding digit is odd, the preceding digit is raised by 1. A number 2.735 rounded off to three significant figures is 2.74 Here the preceding digit 3 ,is odd and hence 1 is added to It. (3+1=4) Rules for Arithmetic Operations with Significant Figures (1)In multiplication or division, the final result should retain as many significant figures as are there in the original number with the least significant figures. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Eg:If mass of an object is measured to be, 4.237 g (four significant figures) and its volume is measured to be 2.51cm3(3 significant figures), then find its density in appropriate significant figures. 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 4.237 𝑔 Density = = = 1.688047 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 2.51𝑐𝑚3 As per rule the final result should be rounded to 3 significant figures. So the answer is 1.69 g/ 𝒄𝒎𝟑 (2) In addition or subtraction, the final result should retain as many decimal places as are there in the number with the least decimal places. Eg:Find the sum of the numbers 436.32 g, 227.2 g and 0.301 g to appropriate significant figures. 436.32 g + (2 decimal places) 227.2 g + (1 decimal place) 0.301 g (3 decimal places) ______________ 663.821 g As per rule ,the final result should be rounded to 1 decimal place. So the answer 663.8 g 1.4 Dimensions of Physical Quantities The nature of a physical quantity is described by its dimensions. All the physical quantities represented by derived units can be expressed in terms of some combination of seven fundamental or base quantities. This base quantities are known as seven dimensions of physical world ,which are denoted with square brackets [ ]. Thus, length has the dimension [L], mass [M], time [T], electric current [A], thermodynamic temperature K], luminous intensity [cd] and amount of substance [mol]. The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers (or exponents) to which the base quantities are raised to represent that quantity. Eg: The volume occupied by an object= lengthx breadth x thickness The dimensions of volume is represented as [V] Downloaded from hssreporter.com Thus volume has zero dimension in mass, zero dimension in time and three dimensions in length. 1.5 Dimensional Formulae and Dimensional Equations Unit of density =kg 𝒎−𝟑 Downloaded from hssreporter.com Downloaded from hssreporter.com Downloaded from hssreporter.com Downloaded from hssreporter.com 1.6 Dimensional Analysis and its Applications 1.

Average Velocity and Average Speed Average Velocity Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement to the total time interval. 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Average velocity= 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐱 𝟐 −𝐱 𝟏 ∆𝐱 𝐯̅ = = 𝐭 𝟐 −𝐭 𝟏 ∆𝐭 where x1 and x2 are the positions of the object at time t1 and t2 Average speed Average speed is defined as the ratio of total path length (distance travelled) to the total time interval. 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 Average speed= 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐥 Uniform motion If an object moving along the straight line covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform motion along a straight line. In uniform motion velocity of the object remains constant. 2.2 Instantaneous Velocity and Speed Instantaneous velocity The average velocity tells us how fast an object has been moving over a given time interval but does not tell us how fast it moves at different instants of time during that interval. For this, we define instantaneous velocity or simply velocity v at an instant t. The velocity at an instant is called instantaneous velocity and is defined as the limit of the average velocity as the time interval Δt becomes infinitesimally small 𝚫𝐱 𝐝𝐱 v = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 = 𝚫𝐭→𝟎 𝚫𝐭 𝐝𝐭 𝐝𝐱 v = 𝐝𝐭 Downloaded from hssreporter.com dx is the differential coefficient of x with respect to t.It is the rate of dt change of position with respect to time. Determining velocity from position-time graph. Velocity at t = 4 s is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that instant. We see from Table 2.1 that as we decrease the value of ∆t from 2.0 s to 0.010 s, the value of the average velocity approaches the limiting value 𝐝𝐱 3.84 m s–1 which is the value of velocity at t = 4.0 s, i.e. the value of 𝐝𝐭 at t = 4.0 s. Instantaneous speed Instantaneous speed or simply speed is the magnitude of velocity. For example, a velocity of 24 m s –1 and a velocity of – 24 m s –1 — both have an associated speed of 24.0 m s -1. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Example The position of an object moving along x-axis is given by x = a + bt2 where a = 8.5 m, b = 2.5 m s–2 and t is measured in seconds. (a)What is its velocity at t = 0 s and t = 2.0 s. (b) What is the average velocity between t = 2.0 s and t = 4.0 s ? (a) x = a + bt 2 𝐝𝐱 𝐝 v= = (a + bt 2 ) = 2bt 𝐝𝐭 𝐝𝐭 At t = 0 , v = 0 At t = 2 , v = 2 x 2.5 x 2 = 10 m s-1 x2 −x1 x4 −x2 (b) v̅ = = t2 −t1 4−2 a+16b−a−4b = 2 12b 12 x 2.5 = = =15 m s-1 2 2 2.3 Acceleration Suppose the velocity itself is changing with time. In order to describe its effect on the motion of the particle, we require another physical quantity called acceleration. The rate of change of velocity of an object is called acceleration. Average Acceleration The average acceleration a over a time interval is defined as the change of velocity divided by the time interval. 𝐯𝟐 −𝐯𝟏 ∆𝐯 𝐚̅ = = 𝐭 𝟐 −𝐭 𝟏 ∆𝐭 ▪ Unit of acceleration is ms-2 , [a] =LT-2 ▪ Acceleration is a vector quantity. ▪ If velocity is increasing with time, acceleration is +ve. ▪ If velocity is decreasing with time, acceleration is -ve. ▪ -ve acceleration is called retardation or deceleration. Uniform acceleration If the velocity of an object changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, it has uniform acceleration. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Instantaneous acceleration The acceleration of a particle at any instant of its motion is called instantaneous acceleration. It is defined as the limit of the average acceleration as the time interval Δt becomes infinitesimally small. 𝚫𝐯 𝐝𝐯 a = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 = 𝐝𝐭 𝚫𝐭→𝟎 𝚫𝐭 𝐝𝐯 a = 𝐝𝐭 ⅆ𝟐 𝒙 or a = ⅆ𝒕𝟐 Position-time graph for motion with (a)positive acceleration (b) negative acceleration c)zero acceleration Velocity–time graph for motions with constant acceleration (a)Motion in positive direction with positive acceleration (b) Motion in positive direction with negative acceleration Downloaded from hssreporter.com (c)Motion in negative direction with negative acceleration (d)Motion of an object with negative acceleration that changes direction at time t1. (Between times 0 to t1, its moves in positive x - direction and between t1 and t2 it moves in the opposite direction.) Importance of Velocity - time graph for a moving object An interesting feature of velocity - time graph for any moving object is that the area under the velocity - time graph is equal to the displacement of the particle. Proof for this statement :- In uniform motion, velocity is the same at any instant of motion. Therefore, the velocity - time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis. Area =uT = Displacement i.e.,the area under the velocity - time graph is equal to the displacement of the particle.

Since the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, a=–g =–9.8ms–2 The object is released from rest at y = 0. Therefore, u = 0 Then the equations of motion become v=0–gt = -9.8 t y = 0 – ½ g t2 = -4.9 t2 v 2 = 0 – 2 g y = -19.6 y (a)Variation of acceleration with time (b)Variation of velocity with time (c)Variation of distance with time Downloaded from hssreporter.com Example A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m s–1 from the top of a multistorey building. The height of the point from where the ball is thrown is 25.0 m from the ground. (a) How high will the ball rise ? and (b) how long will it be before the ball hits the ground? Take g = 10 m s–2 Example Galileo’s law of odd numbers :“The distances traversed, during equal intervals of time, by a body falling from rest, stand to one another in the same ratio as the odd numbers beginning with unity [namely, 1: 3: 5: 7…...].” Prove it. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Answer: Let us divide the time interval of motion of an object under free fall into many equal intervals τ and find out the distances traversed during successive intervals of time. Since initial velocity is zero, we have y = - ½ g t2 We find that the distances are in the simple ratio 1: 3: 5: 7: 9: 11… as shown in the last column. This law was established by Galileo Galilei. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Chapter 3 Motion in a Plane 3.1 Introduction In one dimension only two directions are possible and we used positive and negative signs to represent the two directions. But in order to describe motion of an object in two dimensions (plane) or three dimensions (space) we need to use vectors to describe physical quantities like position, displacement, velocity ,acceleration etc Scalars and Vectors A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction. It is specified completely by a single number, along with the proper unit. Eg. distance ,mass , temperature, time. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or the parallelogram law of addition. A vector is specified by giving its magnitude by a number and its direction. Eg.displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Representation of a Vector A vector is representedby a bold letter say A or an arrow by an arrow placed over a letter, say Ā. The magnitude of a vector is called its absolute value, indicated by |Ā|=A Graphically a vector is represented by a line segment with an arrow head. Q Q is the head of the vector Ā P is the tail of the vector P The length of line segment gives the magnitude of the vector and arrow mark gives its direction. Position and Displacement Vectors Downloaded from hssreporter.com Let P and P′ be the positions of the object at time t and t′ , respectively. OP is the position vector of the object at time t. OP = r. OP’ is the position vector of the object at time t’. OP’= r’ If the object moves from P to P′ , the vector PP′ is called the displacement vector. Displacement vector is the straight line joining the initial and final positions and does not depend on the actual path undertaken by the object between the two positions. Equality of Vectors Two vectors A and B are said to be equal if, and only if, they have the same magnitude and the same direction. (a) Two equal vectors A and B. (b) Two vectors A ′ and B ′ are unequal eventhough they are of same length 3.3 Multiplication of Vectors by Real Numbers ▪ Multiplying a vector Ā with a positive number λ gives a vector whose magnitude is changed by the factor λ but direction is the same as that of Ā λxĀ =λĀ, if λ > 0 For example, if Ā is multiplied by 2, the resultant vector 2 Ā is in the same direction as Ā and has a magnitude twice of | Ā Downloaded from hssreporter.com ▪ Multiplying a vector Ā by a negative number λ gives a vector λ Ā whose direction is opposite to the direction of Ā and whose magnitude is –λ times | Ā |. For example, multiplying a given vector A by negative numbers, say –1 and –1.5, gives vectors as 3.4 Addition and Subtraction of Vectors — Graphical Method Triangle law of vector addition If two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order ,then their resultant is given by the third side of the triangle taken in reverse order. This graphical method is called the head-to-tail method. If we find the resultant of B + A , the same vector R is obtained. ▪ Thus, vector addition is commutative: A+B=B+A ▪ The addition of vectors also obeys the associative law (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) Subtraction of vectors Subtraction of vectors can be defined in terms of addition of vectors. We define the difference of two vectors A and B as the sum of two vectors A and –B : A – B = A + (–B) Downloaded from hssreporter.com Parallelogram law of vector addition If two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram ,then their resultant is given by the diagonal of the parallelogram. Example Rain is falling vertically with a speed of 35 m s –1. Winds starts blowing after sometime with a speed of 12 m s –1 in east to west direction. In which direction should a boy waiting at a bus stop hold his umbrella ? Unit vectors A unit vector is a vector of unit magnitude and points in a particular direction. It has no dimension and unit. It is used to specify a direction only. If we multiply a unit vector, say n by a scalar, the result is a vector. Downloaded from hssreporter.com In general, a vector A can be written as Ā =|𝐴̅|𝐴̂ ̅ ̂= 𝐀 𝐀 ̅| |𝑨 where  is the unit vector along Ā Unit vectors along the x-, y- and z-axes of a rectangular coordinate system are denoted by î , ĵ and k̂ , respectively. Since these are unit vectors, we have | î | = | ̂J | = | k̂ | = 1 These unit vectors are perpendicular to each other and are called orthogonal unit vectors 3.5 Resolution of a vector We can now resolve a vector A in terms of component vectors that lie along unit vectors î and ĵ. Downloaded from hssreporter.com 3.6 Vector Addition – Analytical Method Consider two vectors A and B in x-y plane Downloaded from hssreporter.com From the geometry of the figure, OS 2 = ON 2 + SN 2 but ON = OP + PN = A + B cos θ SN = B sin θ OS 2 = (A + B cos θ ) 2 + (B sin θ ) 2 R 2 = A 2 +2AB cos θ + B 2 cos 2θ +B 2sin2 θ R 2 = A 2 + B 2 + 2AB cos θ 𝐑 = √𝐀2 + 𝐁 2 + 2𝐀𝐁𝐜𝐨𝐬𝛉 This Equation gives the magnitude of the resultant of vectors A and B. From figure, These Equations gives the direction of the resultant of vectors A and B.

Downloaded from hssreporter.com ▪ The x-component of velocity(u cos θ ) remains constant throughout the motion and hence there is no acceleration in horizontal direction,i.e., ax = 0 ▪ The y- component of velocity (u sin θ ) changes throughout the motion. At the point of maximum height, u sin θ = 0. There is acceleration in vertical direction, ay = – g Equation of path of a projectile Displacement of the projectile after a time t x= ucosθ t x t =ucosθ 1 y= u sinθ t − g t 2 2 x 1 x 2 y= u sinθ (ucosθ) − 2 g (ucosθ) g y= tanθ x − x2 2 u2 cos2 θ This equation is of the form y = a x + b x 2 , in which a and b are constants. This is the equation of a parabola, i.e. the path of the projectile is a parabola. Time of Flight of a projectile (T) The total time T during which the projectile is in flight is called Time of Flight, T.

The word “uniform” refers to the speed, which is uniform (constant) throughout the motion. Period The time taken by an object to make one revolution is known as its time period T Downloaded from hssreporter.com Frequency The number of revolutions made in one second is called its frequency. 𝟏 υ= 𝑻 unit - hertz (Hz) Angular velocity (ω ) angular velocity is the time rate of change of angular displacement 𝚫𝛉 ω= 𝚫𝒕 In the limit Δt tends to zero 𝐝𝛉 ω= ⅆ𝒕 Unit is rad/s During the time period T ,the angular displacement is 2π radian 2𝛑 ω= or ω = 2𝛑 υ 𝑻 Relation connecting angular velocity and linear velocity As the object moves from P to P′ in time Δt.

The acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle. Since this direction changes continuously, acceleration here is not a constant vector. a = ω 2 R = (0.44 ) 2 x0.12 = 2.3x10 -2 m s -2 Downloaded from hssreporter.com Chapter 4 Laws of Motion Galileo’s Law of Inertia If the net external force is zero, a body at rest continues to remain at rest and a body in motion continues to move with a uniform velocity. This property of the body is called inertia.Inertia means ‘resistance to change’. Suppose a person is standing in a stationary bus and the driver starts the bus suddenly. He gets thrown backward with a jerk. This is due to his inertia of rest. Similarly if a person is standing in a moving bus and if the bus suddenly stops he is thrown forward. This is due to his inertia of motion. Newton’s Laws of Motion Newton built on Galileo’s ideas and laid the foundation of mechanics in terms of three laws of motion. Galileo’s law of inertia was his starting point on which he formulated as the First Law of motion. Newton’s First Law of Motion (Law of inertia) Every body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by some external force to change that state. The state of rest or uniform linear motion both imply zero acceleration. If the net external force on a body is zero, its acceleration is zero. Acceleration can be non zero only if there is a net external force on the body. Momentum Momentum, P of a body is defined to be the product of its mass m and velocity v, and is denoted by p. p=mv Momentum is a vector quantity. Unit = kgm/s [p] = ML T −1 Downloaded from hssreporter.com ▪ Suppose a light-weight vehicle car) and a heavy weight vehicle are parked on a horizontal road. A greater force is needed to push the truck than the car to bring them to the sam e speed in same time. Similarly, a greater opposing force is needed to stop a heavy body than a light body in the same time, if they are moving with the same speed. ▪ Speed is another important parameter to consider. A bullet fired by a gun can easily pierce human tissue before it stops, resulting in casualty. The same bullet fired with moderate speed will not cause much damage.Thus for a given mass, the greater the speed, the greater is the opposing force needed to stop the body in a certain time. Newton’s Second Law f Motion The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. ∆𝐩 F∝ ∆𝐭 ∆p F =k ∆t For simplicity we choose k=1 In the limit ∆t →0 𝐝𝐩 F= 𝐝𝐭 Why a cricketer draws his hands backwards during a catch? By Newton's second law of motion , ∆𝐩 F= ∆𝐭 When he draws his hands backwards, the time interval (∆t) to stop the ball increases. Then force decreases and it does not hurt his hands. Force not only depends on the change in momentum but also on how fast the change is brought about. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Derivation of Equation of force from Newton's second law of motion By Newton's second law of motion , For a body of ixed mass m, p=mv = mv dt F = ma Force is a vector quantity Unit of force is kgm ( ) Definition of newton One newton is that which causes an acceleration of m s-2 to a mass of 1kg Important points about second law 1.The second Law is consistent with the first law. Zero acceleration implies the state of rest or uniform linear motion. i.e, when there is no external force , the body will remain in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. This is Newtons first law of motion. Downloaded from hssreporter.com 3. If a force makes some angle with velocity, the force changes only the component of velocity along the direction of force. 4. For a system of particles we can write 𝐅𝐧𝐞𝐭 = 𝐦𝐚 𝐅𝐧𝐞𝐭 refers to the total external force on the system and a refers to the acceleration of the system as a whole. 5. In equation F=ma Acceleration at any instant is determined by the force at that instant , not by any history of the motion of the particle. Example A bullet of mass 0.04 kg moving with a speed of 90 m/s enters a heavy wooden block and is stopped after a distance of 60 cm. What is the average resistive force exerted by the block on the bullet? Downloaded from hssreporter.com Example Impulse (I) There are some situations where a large force acts for a very short duration producing a finite change in momentum of the body. For example, when a ball hits a wall and bounces back, the force on the ball by the wall acts for a very short time when the two are in contact, yet the force is large enough to reverse the momentum of the ball. Impulse is the the product of force and time duration, which is the change in momentum of the body. Impulse = Force × time duration I=Fxt Unit = kg m s−1 [I] =M L T −1 Downloaded from hssreporter.com Impulsive force. A large force acting for a short time to produce a finite change in momentum is called an impulsive force. Impulse momentum Principle Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the body. By Newton's second law of motion, dp F= dt F x dt = dp I = dp Impulse = change in momentum Example A batsman hits back a ball straight in the direction of the bowler without changing its initial speed of 12 m s −1. If the mass of the ball is 0.15 kg, determine the impulse imparted to the ball. Impulse = change of momentum Change in momentum = final momentum – initial momentum Change in momentum = 0.15 × 12–(0.15×-12) Impulse = 3.6 N s Newton’s Third Law of Motion To every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Important points about Third law 1. Forces always occur in pairs. Force on a body A by B is equal and opposite to the force on the body B by A. 2. There is no cause- effect relation implied in the third law. The force on A by B and the force on B by A act at the same instant. By the same reasoning, any one of them may be called action and the other reaction. 3. Action and reaction forces act on different bodies, not on the same body. So they do not cancel each other , eventhough they are equal and opposite. According to the third law, FAB = – FBA (force on A by B) = – (force on B by A) 4. However, if you are considering the system of two bodies as a whole, FAB and FBA are internal forces of the system (A + B). They add up to give a null force.

Or When there is no external force acting on a system of particles ,their total momentum remains constant. Proof of law of conservation of momentum dp By Newton's second law of motion , F= dt When F = 0 dp =0 dt dp = 0 , p=constant Thus when there is no external force acting on a system of particles, their total momentum remains constant.

Neglect the mass of the rope. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Common Forces in Mechanics There are two types of forces in mechanics- Contact forces and Non contact forces. Contact forces A contact force on an object arises due to contact with some other object: solid or fluid. Eg: Frictional force, viscous force, air resistance Non contact forces A non contact force can act at a distance without the need of any intervening medium. Eg: Gravitational force. Friction The force that opposes (impending or actual) relative motion between two surfaces in contact is called frictional force. There are two types of friction-Static and Kinetic friction Static friction 𝐟𝐬 ▪ Static friction is the frictional force that acts between two surfaces in contact before the actual relative motion starts. Or Static friction fs opposes impending relative motion. The maximum value of static friction is ( fs )max ▪ The limiting value of static friction ( fs )max , is independent of the area of contact. ▪ The limiting value of static friction ( fs )max , varies with the normal force(N) ( fs )max αN ( 𝐟𝐬 )𝐦𝐚𝐱 = 𝛍𝐬 𝐍 Where the constant 𝛍𝐬 is called the coefficient of static friction and depends only on the nature of the surfaces in contact.

Rolling friction is much smaller than static or sliding friction Disadvantages of friction friction is undesirable in many situations, like in a machine with different moving parts, friction opposes relative motion and thereby dissipates power in the form of heat, etc. Downloaded from hssreporter.com Advantages of friction Friction is a necessary evil.In many practical situations friction is critically needed. Kinetic friction is made use of by brakes in machines and automobiles. We are able to walk because of static friction. It is impossible for a car to move on a very slippery road. On an ordinary road, the friction between the tyres and the road provides the necessary external force to accelerate the car. Methods to reduce friction (1)Lubricants are a way of reducing kinetic friction in a machine. (2)Another way is to use ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine. (3) A thin cushion of air maintained between solid surfaces in relative motion is another effective way of reducing friction. Circular Motion The acceleration of a body moving in a circular path is directed towards the centre and is called centripetal acceleration. 𝐯𝟐 a= 𝐑 The force f providing centripetal acceleration is called the centripetal force and is directed towards the centre of the circle. 𝐦𝐯 𝟐 𝐟𝐬 = 𝐑 where m is the mass of the body, R is the radius of circle. For a stone rotated in a circle by a string, the centripetal force is provided by the tension in the string.

W = (F cos θ )d W = F d cos θ W = ⃗⃗⃗ 𝐅 ⋅𝐝 Work can be zero, positive or negative. Zero Work The work can be zero,if (i)the displacement is zero. When you push hard against a rigid brick wall, the force you exert on the wall does no work. A weightlifter holding a 150 kg mass steadily on his shoulder for 30 s does no work on the load during this time. (ii) the force is zero. A block moving on a smooth horizontal table is not acted upon by a horizontal force (since there is no friction), but may undergo a large displacement. (iii) the force and displacement are mutually perpendicular Here θ = 90 o , cos (90) = 0. For the block moving on a smooth horizontal table, the gravitational force mg does no work since it acts at right angles to the displacement. Positive Work If θ is between 0 o and 90 o , cos θ is positive and work positive. Eg: Workdone by Gravitational force on a freely falling body is positive Negative work If θ is between 90 o and 180 o , cos θ is negative and work negative. Eg: the frictional force opposes displacement and θ = 180 o. Then the work done by friction is negative (cos 180 o = –1).

The distances between different pairs of such a body do not change. Motion of a rigid body The motion of a rigid body which is not pivoted or fixed in some way is either a pure translation or a combination of translation and rotation. The motion of a rigid body which is pivoted or fixed in some way is rotation. 1)Pure Translational Motion In pure translational motion at any instant of time every particle of the body has the same velocity. Eg: A block moving down an inclined plane. Any point like P1 or P2 of the block moves with the same velocity at any instant of time. 2)Pure Rotational Motion In pure rotational motion at any instant of time every point in the rotating rigid body has the same angular velocity,but different linear velocity. i) Rotation about a fixed axis Eg: A ceiling fan A potter’s wheel. The line along which the body is fixed is termed as its axis of rotation. In rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis, every particle of the body moves in a circle, which lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis and has its centre on the axis. Downloaded from hssreporter.com ii) Rotation about an axis which is not fixed Eg: A spinning top An oscillating table fan 3)Rolling Motion It is a combination of translational and rotational motion.
