FORCE AND NEWTON's LAWs


Corce: A push or pullon body called
a is force. Force can change the state of rest or uniform motion or
motion of any body. The unit of force in MKSsystem shape or direction
is newton. It is a vector quantity.
Force = Mass x Acceleration
F= m a
One newton is that force which produces an acceleration of 1ms² in a body of mass 1kg. (1N= | kg x m/s =
1° dyne).
Dyne is the C.G.S unit of force.
Kg wt is the gravitational unit of Force.
The weakest force is gravitational forces and strongest forces are nuclear forces in nature.
The puclear forces have the shortest range and gravitational forces have the longest range.

Balanced Forces
Balance forces cannot change the speed of a body. They can change the shape of the object. The resultant force acting
on a body is zero.

Unbalanced Forces
Unbalance forces can change the speed or direction of motion of the body. The resultant force acting on abody is not zero.
Classification of Forces
1. Contact forces: The contact force arises as a result of physical contact between two bodies, one by which force is
exerted and the other on which force is exerted. For example, force of friction, force exerted by the wind, etc.
2
Action-at-a-distance: The force which do not involve any physical contact between two bodies but act through the
force.

Every body remains in its state of rest of uniform motion unless it is compelled to change its state by an
force impressed on it.

Example:
The first law of motion is also known as Galileo's law of inertia.
