3. Detailed Topic-wise Notes

3.1 Introduction to Force और Motion

Force क्या है?

Force एक vector quantity है जो object के motion को change कर सकती है या change करने की tendency रखती है।

Characteristics of Force:

यह push या pull हो सकती है
इसमें magnitude और direction दोनों होते हैं
SI unit: Newton (N)
1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²

Types of Motion:

Uniform Motion: Constant velocity से motion
Non-uniform Motion: Variable velocity के साथ motion
Accelerated Motion: जब acceleration present हो

Balanced vs Unbalanced Forces:

Balanced Forces: Net force = 0, motion में कोई change नहीं
Unbalanced Forces: Net force ≠ 0, acceleration produce करती है

Real-life Example: जब आप table पर book रखते हैं, weight force downward और normal force upward balanced होती हैं, इसलिए book stationary रहती है।

3.2 Newton’s First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

Statement:

“Every object continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change by an unbalanced external force.”

Simple Language में: कोई भी object अपनी current state (rest या motion) को maintain करना चाहता है जब तक कोई external force न लगे।

Inertia क्या है?

Object की tendency जो अपनी present state of motion को maintain करना चाहती है, inertia कहलाती है।

Types of Inertia:

Inertia of Rest: Rest में रहने की tendency
Inertia of Motion: Motion continue करने की tendency
Inertia of Direction: Same direction में motion की tendency

Factors Affecting Inertia:

Mass: More mass = More inertia
Inertia ∝ Mass

Daily Life Examples:

1. Moving Bus में Sudden Brake: जब bus अचानक brake करती है, आपका body आगे की तरफ jerk लगता है क्योंकि आपका body motion continue करना चाहता है (inertia of motion)।

2. Tablecloth Trick: Quick motion से tablecloth खींचने पर dishes वहीं रह जाती हैं क्योंकि उनकी inertia of rest के कारण।

3. Seat Belts का Use: Car accident के time seat belt inertia के effects को reduce करता है।

Mathematical Expression:

पहले law का कोई direct formula नहीं है, लेकिन:

If ΣF = 0, then a = 0
This means v = constant

3.3 Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Statement:

“The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.”

Mathematical Form:

F⃗ = dp⃗/dt

जहाँ p = momentum = mv

Alternative Form:

जब mass constant हो:

F⃗ = ma⃗

यह physics का सबसे important equation है!

Key Points:

Force, mass, और acceleration के बीच relationship establish करता है
Force और acceleration same direction में होते हैं
यह quantitative law है (numerical calculations के लिए)

Units और Dimensions:

SI Unit of Force: Newton (N)
1 Newton: 1 kg mass को 1 m/s² acceleration देने के लिए required force
Dimensional Formula: [MLT⁻²]

Applications और Examples:

Example 1: Simple Calculation एक 2 kg mass का object 5 m/s² acceleration से move कर रहा है। Applied force calculate करें:

F = ma = 2 × 5 = 10 N

Example 2: Variable Mass System Rocket propulsion में mass continuously decrease होता है, इसलिए F = dp/dt form use करते हैं।

Important Variations:

When Multiple Forces Act:

Net Force = F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + ... (vector addition)
F_net = ma

Component Form:

Fₓ = maₓ
Fᵧ = maᵧ

3.4 Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Statement:

“To every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction.”

Mathematical Expression:

F⃗₁₂ = -F⃗₂₁

जहाँ F₁₂ = force on object 1 by object 2

Key Characteristics:

Action और reaction forces simultaneously act करती हैं
ये forces different objects पर act करती हैं
Magnitude में equal, direction में opposite
Same type की forces होती हैं (contact-contact या field-field)

Common Misconceptions:

Wrong: Action-reaction cancel each other Correct: वे different objects पर act करती हैं, इसलिए cancel नहीं होतीं

Daily Life Examples:

1. Walking:

Action: आपका foot ground को backward push करता है
Reaction: Ground आपको forward push करता है
इसीलिए slippery surface पर walking difficult होती है

2. Swimming:

Action: Swimmer water को backward push करता है
Reaction: Water swimmer को forward push करता है

3. Rocket Propulsion:

Action: Rocket gases को downward/backward निकालता है
Reaction: Gases rocket को upward/forward push करती हैं

4. Gun Recoil:

Action: Gun bullet को forward fire करती है
Reaction: Bullet gun को backward push करती है

Why Don’t Action-Reaction Cancel?

क्योंकि वे different objects पर act करती हैं। एक ही object पर acting forces cancel होती हैं, different objects पर acting नहीं।

3.5 Types of Forces

Classification of Forces:

1. Contact Forces: Objects के direct contact में होने पर लगने वाली forces

Types:

Normal Force (N): Surface के perpendicular
Friction Force (f): Motion के opposite direction में
Tension Force (T): Strings, ropes में
Applied Force: Externally applied push/pull

2. Non-Contact Forces (Field Forces): बिना direct contact के acting forces

Types:

Gravitational Force: Mass के कारण attraction
Electromagnetic Force: Charges के बीच
Nuclear Force: Atomic particles के बीच

Detailed Analysis:

Normal Force:

Surface द्वारा object पर perpendicular force
Contact force का component
Symbol: N या R
Always perpendicular to contact surface

Tension Force:

Strings, cables, ropes में internal force
Always along the string
Same throughout massless string
Can only pull, cannot push

Weight vs Mass:

Mass: Amount of matter (scalar), unit: kg
Weight: Gravitational force (vector), unit: N
Weight = mg (where g = 9.8 m/s²)

3.6 Friction – Static और Kinetic

Friction क्या है?

जब दो surfaces के बीच relative motion होता है या होने की tendency होती है, तो उनके बीच opposing force लगती है जो frictionकहलाती है।

Types of Friction:

1. Static Friction (fs):

जब objects के बीच no relative motion हो
Self-adjusting force (applied force के बराबर)
Maximum value: fs,max = μsN

2. Kinetic Friction (fk):

जब objects के बीच relative motion हो रहा हो
Constant value (independent of velocity)
Value: fk = μkN

3. Rolling Friction:

जब object roll कर रहा हो (slide नहीं कर रहा)
Least among all types
Examples: ball rolling, wheel motion

Coefficient of Friction:

μs = Coefficient of static friction
μk = Coefficient of kinetic friction

Important Relations:

μs > μk (always)
0 ≤ μ ≤ ∞ (theoretically)
Practically: 0 ≤ μ ≤ 2

Friction Force Equations:

Static: fs ≤ μsN (can be less than or equal)
Kinetic: fk = μkN (always equal)

Factors Affecting Friction:

Depends on:

Nature of surfaces (rough/smooth)
Normal force between surfaces

Independent of:

Area of contact
Velocity of motion (for kinetic)

Advantages और Disadvantages:

Advantages:

Walking possible होता है
Vehicle braking system
Writing with pen/pencil
Holding objects in hand

Disadvantages:

Energy loss in machines
Wear और tear
Heat generation
Efficiency decrease

Methods to Reduce Friction:

Lubrication (oil, grease)
Ball bearings
Streamlining (aerodynamic shapes)
Polishing surfaces

3.7 Circular Motion और Centripetal Force

Circular Motion में Forces:

जब object circular path पर move करता है, तो उसे center की तरफ force की जरूरत होती है।

Centripetal Force:

Fc = mv²/r = mω²r = m(4π²/T²)r

Direction: हमेशा center की तरफ (inward)

Sources of Centripetal Force:

1. String के साथ: Tension provides centripetal force 2. Circular road: Friction provides centripetal force
3. Planetary motion: Gravitational force 4. Electron orbit: Electrostatic force

Banking of Roads:

Curved roads को bank करने से centripetal force का कुछ हिस्सा normal force provide करती है।

Banking angle:

tan θ = v²/(rg)

With friction:

v²max = rg(μ + tan θ)/(1 - μ tan θ)

Vertical Circular Motion:

जब object vertical circle में move करता है:

At highest point:

T + mg = mv²/r (minimum condition: T = 0)
vmin = √(gr)

At lowest point:

T - mg = mv²/r
T = mg + mv²/r

3.8 Problem Solving Techniques

General Approach:

Step 1: Problem को carefully read करें Step 2: Given data और required quantity identify करें
Step 3: Free body diagram draw करें Step 4: Newton’s laws apply करें Step 5: Mathematical solution करें Step 6: Answer check करें (units, reasonableness)

Individual FBD for each object

Type 3: Circular Motion Problems

Identify source of centripetal force
Apply Fc = mv²/r
Consider all forces acting
