A Brief Review of concepts 1. The length of the actual path between initial and final point is called distance.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The displacement of an object in a given time can be positive, negative or zero. Rate of change of displacement is called velocity. During uniform motion the average and the instantaneous velocities are always same. Slope of the velocity time graph for a body in uniform motion provides the velocity. During uniformly accelerated motion along a straight line, the magnitude of the velocity alone changes while the direction remains the same. 7. Kinetic equations for uniformly accelerated motion. (i) v = u + at (ii) s = ut + at2 (iii) v2 = u2 +2as (iv) Snth = u + a( 2n-1 ) 8. In case of motion under gravity, motion is independent of the mass of a body. 9. In case of motion under gravity, if a body is dropped vertically and another projected horizontally then both will reach the ground simultaneously but with different speed. 10. Total time taken by a body to move down an incline plane from a height h is T = 1/sin 2h/g. 11. Equation of the trajectory of the projectile in XY plane Y = X tan ( g/ u2 cos2) X2 12. Maximum height attained by the projectile is given by H = u2 sin2/2g 13. The time of flight and the horizontal range of the projectile is given by T = 2u sin/g And R = u2sin2/g 14. The range of projectile is maximum if it is projected at an angle 450. 15. To safely negotiate a curve of radius r, a cyclist should bend so as to make an angle with a vertical which is given by tan = v2/rg 16. The maximum velocity with which a vehicle can safely negotiate a curve of radius r on a rough inclined road is given by v2 = rg ( + tan/ 1- tan) 17. When the body describes the vertical circles, its velocity at the top of vertical circle is equal to or greater than g r 18. According to Newtons first law of motion, every body continuous in its state of rest or uniform motion until it is compelled by some external force to change the state. 19. Second law states that rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on it. Also F = ma. 20. According to III law, to every action there exists equal and opposite reaction. 21. Impulse = Ft. It is also known as the change in momentum. 22. If the body of mass m moves with acceleration a in downward direction then its apparent weight R = m (g a). And if it moves in upward direction with acceleration a then apparent weight R = m (g + a). 23. The maximum frictional force between two surfaces depends upon nature of surface and normal contact force. It is independent of area of contact. 24. The magnitude of kinetic friction is proportional to normal reaction. Fk = N 25. The angle with the resultant of maximum force and normal reaction makes with the normal is called angle of friction. 26. If a body placed on a rough inclined plane is just on the point of sliding down, then the angle of inclination of the plane with horizontal is called angle of repose. 27. = tan = tan i.e. Angle of repose = Angle of limiting friction.

A Brief Review of Concepts


1. For a system of N-particles the position of centre of mass will be given by r= (m1r1+m2r2+. +mnrn/m1+m2+. 2. The location of centre of mass remains unchanged in rotatory motion. But it changes in translatory motion. 3. The position of centre of mass depends on the shape of the body and distribution of its mass. Hence it may lie within or outside of body. In symmetrical bodies in which the distribution of mass is homogeneous, the centre of mass coincides with geometric centre. 4. Centre of mass of an isolated system (because no external force acts on the system) always moves with constant velocity. 5. The torque about an axis of rotation is equal to the product of the magnitude of force and perpendicular distances of the line of action of force from the axis of rotation. Mathematically = r x F where symbols have their usual meaning. 6. The torque plays the same role in rotatory motion as the force plays in translatory motion. 7. The property of body by virtue of which it opposes any change in its state of rotation about an axis is known as moment of inertia about that axis. Mathematically I=MR2. 8. The M.I is also written as I=MK2 where K= (r12+r22+..)/n called radius of gyration. 9. Relation between torque and M.I is = I 10. Relation between angular momentum and M.I is L= I. 11. Equations of rotational motion are (i) 2=1 + t (ii) = 1t +1/2 t2 (iii) 22= 12 + 2 12. Rate of change of angular momentum is also called torque acting upon the body. 13.
