Newton Second Law of Motion and Equation of Motion
Newton Second Law of Motion and Equation of Motion
The magnitude of the net force acting on a body is proportional to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.The direction of the force is same as that of the acceleration.
...............(i)
Here, k is a constant, m = mass and a = acceleration
In terms of momentum second law can be stated as:
The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object.The direction of the change of momentum is the same as the direction of the net force.
Let us see how the two ways of stating the second law are equivalent.Suppose a object of mass m is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration a. Also, suppose its velocity at time is
, which changes to
at time
.
The linear momentum at time is
.
Here, p = momentum ,t= time and v = velocity
The rate of change of momentum is
According to the second law,
or (where k is a constant)
or
or ....................(ii)
Equation (ii) is same as that of equation (i)
Equation of motion:
1. First equation of motion:
This equation is a relation between initial velocity, final velocity and acceleration.In lots of problems, the object starts motion from the rest with zero initial velocity. In such cases if we have knowledge about two kinematics quantities we can easily find the third quantity.
2. Second equation of motion:
This equation gives relation between distance, initial velocity, time and acceleration.
3. Third equation of motion:
This equation give the relation between final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration and distance.
Application of second law of motion:
1. A cricket palyer moves his hands backward while catching a fast cricket ball.
2. During athletics meet, athletes doing high jump and long jump land on foam or a heap od sand to decrease the force on the body and the landing is comfortable.
3. When we kick a ball we apply some force in it, and in a specific direction. If applied force is more than the ball will cover a longer distance and if the applied force is less than ball wiil cover a smaller distance.
4. Pushing a empty cart is easy than pushing a loaded cart , this is because if the mass of the cart is less than force required to pull the cart will also be less.
Q 1. A 650 kg rocket is to be speed up from 440 metres per second to 520 meters per second in outer space. If the thrust of the engine is 1200 N, for how long must the engine be fired?
Solution: The change in the momentum of the rocket
= (650) (520) - (650) (440) = 52000 kg m/s.
This must be equal to the impulse, so = (1200 N) (
) = 52000 kg m/s
= 43 s
Q 2. A boy of mass 58 kg jumps with a horizontal velocity of 3 m/s onto a stationary skateboard of mass 2 kg. What is his velocity as he moves off the skateboard ?
Solution: Assume there is zero unbalanced horizontal force in the horizontal direction and that left to right is the positive (+) direction.

My experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

8thThird consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...

8thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

10thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Om Umang
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.

10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
Manya
8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
