CHAPTER - 9
FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION
CLASS :- IX
MADE BY :- SHIVA PRASAD
SCHOOL :- K.V. 2. SADRAS. KALPAKKAM
1) Force :-
Force is an external effort which may move a body at
rest or stop a moving body or change the speed of a
moving body or change the direction of a moving body or
change the shape and size of a body.
Effects of force :-
i) Force can move a body at rest.
ii) Force can stop a moving body.
iii) Force can change the speed of a moving body.
iv) Force can change the direction of a moving body.
v) Force can change the shape and size of a body.
2) Balanced and unbalanced forces :-
i) Balanced forces :-
If two forces act on a body in opposite direction and if both the
forces are equal, then the resultant force acting on the body is zero.
Such forces are called balanced forces.
Balanced forces cannot change the state of rest or motion of a body.
ii) Unbalanced forces :-
If two forces act on a body in opposite direction and if one force is
greater than the other, then the resultant force is not equal to zero.
Such forces are called unbalanced forces.
Unbalanced forces changes the state of rest or the motion of a body.
F1 F2
F1 = F2
F1
F2
F1 > F2
3) Force of friction :-
Force of friction is the force which opposes the motion of an object
over a surface.
Eg :- A ball rolling on ground gradually slows down and
comes to a stop due to force of friction.
If we stop pedalling a bicycle, it gradually slows
down and comes to a stop due to force of friction.
An object with uniform motion will continue to move with uniform
motion if the forces acting on it ( pushing force and frictional force )
are balanced.
If an unbalanced force acts on the moving body, then its speed or
direction of motion changes.
If the unbalanced force is removed, then it will continue to move with
the speed it had acquired till then.
4) Galileo’s experiment of motion of an object on an
inclined plane :-
h h
When a marble rolls down an inclined plane, its velocity increases and when it
goes up on the second inclined plane, its velocity decreases. If the inclinations
of both the planes are equal, then the marble will reach the same height which it
rolled down. If the inclination of the second plane is decreased, it will travel
more distance to reach the original height. If the inclination of the second plane
is made horizontal, the marble will travel forever trying to reach the same
height. An unbalanced force is required to change the motion of the marble but
no force is needed to sustain the uniform motion of the marble.
5) Newton’s laws of motion :-
Newton’s first law of motion states that :- ‘An object
remains in a state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight
line unless compelled to change that state by an applied
force.’
Inertia :- The natural tendency of objects to remain in a
state of rest or in uniform motion is called inertia.
This is why the first law of motion is also known as the
law of inertia.
Examples of inertia :-
i) If a striker hits a pile of coins on a carrom board, the lowest coin
moves out and due to inertia of rest, the other coins fall down.
ii) If a coin placed on a playing card over a tumbler is flicked with the
finger, due to inertia of rest, the coin falls down into the tumbler.
iii) When we travel in a car and the driver applies the brakes suddenly,
we tend to fall forward due to inertia of motion.
iv) When we are standing in a bus and the bus begins to move
suddenly, we tend to fall backward because our feet in contact with the
floor moves forward but the upper part of the body continues to remain
at rest due to inertia of rest.
6) Inertia and Mass :-
A body at rest continues to be at rest and a body in
motion continues to be in motion. This property of a body
is called its inertia.
The inertia of a body is measured by the magnitude of
force required to change the state of the body. The force
required to change the state of a heavier body is more
than the force required to change the state of the lighter
body. This is because the mass of the heavier body is
more than the mass of the lighter body.
So ‘The mass of a body is a measure of its inertia.’
7) Momentum of a body :-
The momentum of a body is the product of its mass and
velocity.
Momentum = mass x velocity
p = mv where p is the momentum of a body
m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
If a body is at rest its velocity is zero and so its
momentum is also zero.
The SI unit of momentum is kilogram metre per second or
kg m/s or kg ms-1
Eg :- A truck moving at a very low speed can kill a person standing in
its path because of the heavy mass of the truck.
A bullet of small mass when fired from a gun can kill a person
because of the large velocity of the bullet.
So the impact of a body depends upon its mass and velocity.
8) Newton’s second law of motion :-
Newton’s second law of motion states that :- ‘ The rate of change of
momentum of an object is proportional to the applied force in the
direction of force.’
Mathematical formulation of Second law of motion :-
If an object of mass m is moving along a straight line with initial
velocity u and is accelerated to velocity v in time t by applying a force
F, then
Initial momemtum p1 = mu
Final momentum p2 = mv
Change in momentum p2 – p1 = mv – mu
= m (v – u )
Rate of change of momentum = m (v – u )
t
Or the applied force F α m (v – u ) or F = k m (v – u ) but (v – u ) = a
t t t
So F = kma where k is a constant of proportionality
Or F = ma
The SI unit of mass is kg and acceleration is m/s2
or ms-2
so the unit
of Force is kg ms-2
or newton . It’s symbol is N
10) Newton’s third law of motion :-
Newton’s third law of motion states that :- ‘To every action there is
an equal and opposite reaction and they act on two different bodies.’
To prove that action and reaction are equal and opposite :-
Take two spring balances A and B connected together. Fix the spring
balance B to a rigid support. When a force is applied by pulling the free
end of the spring balance A, both the spring balances show the same
readings. This shows that the force exerted by the spring balance A on
B is equal but opposite in direction to the force exerted by spring
balance B on A . The force exerted by the spring balance A on B is
action and the force exerted by the spring balance B on A is reaction.
A
B
Examples of action and reaction :-
i) When a bullet is fired from a gun, it exerts a forward force (action) on
the bullet and the bullet exerts an equal and opposite force on the gun
(reaction) and the gun recoils.
ii) When a sailor jumps out of a boat, he exerts a backward force of the
boat (action) and the boat exerts an equal and opposite force on the
sailor (reaction) and the sailor jumps forward.
Recoil force
on the gun
Accelerating force
on the bullet
Action
Reaction
iii) When an air filled balloon is released, the force of the air coming out
of the balloon (action) exerts an equal and opposite force on the
balloon (reaction) and it moves upward.
iv) When a rocket is fired, the force of the burning gases coming out
(action) exerts an equal and opposite force on the rocket (reaction) and
it moves upward.
11) Conservation of momentum :-
The Law of conservation of momemtum states that :-
‘The sum of momenta of two objects before collision is equal to the
sum of momenta after collision provided there is no unbalanced forces
acting on them.’
This means that the total momentum of the two objects is unchanged
or conserved by collision.
uA uB vA vB
FBA FAB
If two balls A and B of masses mA and mB are travelling in a straight
line with initial velocities uA and uB and if uA > uB, the two balls will
collide with each other. During collision at a time t, ball A exerts a force
FAB on ball B and ball B exerts a force FBA on ball A. If vA and vB are the
velocities of balls A and B after collision,
The momenta of ball A before and after collision are mAuA and mAvA
and the momenta of ball B before and after collision are mBuB and mBvB.
A B A B B
A
mA
mA
mB
mB
Change in momentum of ball A during collision = mAvA – mAuA
(vA - uA)
Rate of change of momentum of ball A (FAB) = mA
t
Change in momentum of ball B during collision = mBvB – mBuB
(vB - uB)
Rate of change of momentum of ball B (FBA ) = mB
t
According to Newton’s third law of motion the force FAB exerted by
ball A on ball B is equal and opposite to the force FBA exerted by ball B
on ball A.
Therefore FAB = - FBA
(vA - uA) (vB - uB)
or mA = = - mB
t t
or mAvA - mAuA = - mBvB + mBuB
or - mAuA - mAuA = - mAvA - mBvB
or mAuA + mBuB = mAvA + mBvB
Momentum of the two balls before collision is equal to the

Therefore FAB = - FBA (vA - uA) (vB - uB) or mA = = - mB t t or mAvA - mAuA = - mBvB + mBuB or - mAuA - mAuA = - mAvA - mBvB or mAuA + mBuB = mAvA + mBvB Momentum of the two balls before collision is equal to the
