Physics MCQs Questions class 9 Force and laws of Motion with answers
Important points to remember about Force and laws of Motion
- motion of an object along a straight line in terms of its position, velocity and acceleration.
- We saw that such a motion can be uniform or non-uniform
- First law of motion: An object continues to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- The natural tendency of objects to resist a change in their state of rest or of uniform motion is called inertia.
- The mass of an object is a measure of its inertia. Its SI unit is kilogram (kg).
- Force of friction always opposes motion of objects.
- Second law of motion: The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
- The SI unit of force is kg m s–2. This is also known as newton and represented by the symbol N.
- A force of one newton produces an acceleration of 1 m s–2 on an object of mass 1 kg.
- The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity and has the same direction as that of the velocity. Its SI unit is kg m s–1
- Third law of motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and they act on two different bodies.
- In an isolated system (where there is no external force), the total momentum remains conserved.
- The law of conservation of momentum has been deduced from large number of observations and experiments.
- This law was formulated nearly three centuries ago. It is interesting to note that not a single situation has been realised so far, which contradicts this law.
- Several experiences of every-day life can be explained on the basis of the law of conservation of momentum
