8. 18.Case study-
Acceleration can be produced by force only. First law
of motion defines both inertia and force. Newton’s
second law of motion gives us a measure of force.
When a body is accelerating in a straight line, the
unbalanced force acts in the direction of motion of the body. When no external force
acts on the system, the linear momentum of a system is constant. When
external forces act on the system, the linear
momentum of a system can be changed. When a bus
suddenly takes a turn, the passengers are thrown
outwards because of inertia of direction.
Q i) A body is accelerating in a straight line. The unbalanced force acts;
a. In the direction of motion of the body
b. In the direction opposite to the motion of the body
c. In a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the body
d. None of these.
Q ii) The principle of conservation of momentum states that the linear momentum of
a system ;
a. Cannot be changed
b. Cannot remain constant
c. Can be changed if only internal forces act
d. Can be changed if only external forces act
Q iii) A motor cycle and a car are moving on a horizontal road with the same velocity.

retardation, then
a. Motor cycle will stop at shorter distance
b. Car will stop at a shorter distance

8. According to the Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that, to every action, there is

9. mv = 125 kg.m/s
and m = 25 kg
So, v = mv/m = 125/25 m/s = 5 m/s
10. According to Newton’s Second law of motion, F = ma
The more the mass, the more will be inertia hence greater force will be required to move the object.
11. Inertia depends on the mass of the object. The larger the mass, the greater will be its inertia and vice-
versa. In the case of a rubber ball and a stone of the same size, it is clear that the stone will have greater
inertia than the ball. It is because, despite being the same size, the stone weighs more than the rubber
ball.
12. • It is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope because of Newton’s First
Law of Motion, the law of Inertia.
• When the bus moves, the luggage will be in inertia of motion and say the bus suddenly stops,
then the luggage tends to resist this change in motion, causing it to move forward and fall off,
if not tied up by a rope.
• Similarly, when the bus decelerates or changes its direction while turning, the inertia of motion
of the luggage will try to resist this change in motion, causing the luggage to move oppositely
and fall off, if not tied up by a rope.

1=

= -30 m/s 2
(c) During time interval 3 to 6 s, the velocity of object is constant, so in this time interval,
acceleration is zero and hence force, F (= ma) is zero.]
12. • According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with
an equal and opposite force. This pair of forces is called the action-reaction pair.
• In the case of the massive truck parked alongside the road, the action-reaction pair is the weight of
the truck exerting a force on the road in the downward direction (action), and the static friction of
the road in the upward direction (reaction), which keeps the truck at rest. These two equal and
opposite forces cancel out each other, which is why the truck will not move.
• For it to move, we need to apply additional external force to overcome the static friction of the
road.
• Thus, as the student explained, the truck does not move because the two opposite and equal forces
of the truck and road cancel out each other is valid.

2. a) In doing so, the fielder increases the time during which the high velocity of the
moving ball decreases to zero.
b) If the ball is stopped suddenly, then its high velocity decreases to zero in very short

Therefore, a large force would have to be applied for holding the catch that may hurt
the palm of the fielder.
