10 Accelaration Change in velocity of an object per unit time.
11 Negative acceleration An object thrown upwards, against the force of
gravity, have negative acceleration.
12 G=9.81m/s Acceleration due to gravity at or near earths surface
is 9.81m/s.
13 Objects of different masses released simultaneously from same height fall on the ground at thesame time with the same velocity.
14 Force Magnitude and Direction Force is that cause which produces acceleration inthe body on which it acts.
15 Newtons first law of motion[Law of inertia]
Every body continues in its state of rest or ofuniform motion in a straight line unless it is
compelled by an external force to change that state
16 Inertia The inability of the body to change, by itself, its
8/3/2019 PartV Science
21/56
state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line i
called inertia.
17 Momentum.
P = mass * velocity = m * v Kg * m/s
The product of mass and velocity of a body is calle
momentum.
18 Moving body The force required to stop a moving body is directl
proportional to a) mass m and its b) linear velocity.19 Impulse Cricket ball catch When we move our hands
backward while catching the ball, the time ofcontanct is increased and the force is reduced.So,
we feel lesser force and pain and also catch the ballwithout jumping out of our hand.
20 Newtons second lawF = ma
The rate of change of momentum of a body isdirectly proportional to the force and takes place in
the direction of force.
21 Mass Kg
[Mass remains the same everywhere in the
universe].
Mass of body is a measure of its inertia. A larger
mass possess a greater inertia and therefore a larger
force will be needed to overcome inertia.Mass is also the measure of the quantity of thematter in a body.
22 Weight kgwt or Newton[Maximum on the polar regions and
minimum in equatorial regions / Wt. willalso be less on the top of the hill]

When a force F acts on a body and the body
undergoes a displacement s in the direction of theforce, then the work done, W=Fs.
29 Aeroplane The force(force of gravity in the downwarddirection) and displacement(horizontal direction)
are perpendicular to each other. There is no disp. Inthe direction of the force of gravity, and therefore,
the work done by it on the aeroplane is zero.
