SECTION - D
Q29. The first law refers to the simple case when the net external force on a body is zero. 4
The second law of motion refers to the general situation when there is a net
external force acting on the body. It relates the net external force to the acceleration
of the body. These qualitative observations lead to the second law of motion
expressed by Newton as follows:
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied
force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. Thus, if under the
action of a force F for time interval Δt, the velocity of a body of mass m changes
from v to v + Δv i.e. its initial momentum

 p = m v changes by Δp = mΔv. According to the Second Law

Where k is a constant of proportionality. Mathematically,

F = ma, the unit of force is kg-m/s2 or Newton, which has the symbol N. Let us note
at this stage some important points about the second law:
• In the second law, F = 0 implies a = 0. The second law is obviously consistent with
the first law.
• The second law of motion is a vector law.
• The second law of motion given by is applicable to a single point particle as well
as to the rigid body but internal forces are not considered in F.
• The second law of motion is a local relation which means that force F at a point in
space (location of the particle) at a certain instant of time is related to an at that
point at that instant. Answer the following questions.
i) Newton’s second law of motion is applicable to which of the following?
a) Only rigid bodies
b) Only single point particles
c) Both single point particles and rigid bodies
d) Neither single point particles nor rigid bodies
ii) Which of the following statements is true regarding the second law of motion?
a) It is inconsistent with the first law of motion.
b) It only considers internal forces.
c) It is a vector law.
d) It is applicable to non-rigid bodies.
iii) If a car with a mass of 1000 kg is accelerating at 2 m/s², what is the net force
acting on the car?
a) 500 N b) 1000 N c) 2000 N d) 5000 N

their linear momenta is
(a) 1:8 (b)1:4 (c)1:2 (d) 4:1
30. Satellites in a circular orbits around the earth in the equatorial plane with T = 24 4
hours are called Geostationary Satellites. Clearly, since the earth rotates with the same
period, the satellite would appear fixed from any point on earth. It takes very powerful
rockets to throw up a satellite to such large heights above the earth but this has been
done in view of the several benefits of much practical application. Weight of an object
is the force with which the earth attracts it. We are conscious of our own weight when
we stand on a surface, since the surface exerts a force opposite to our weight to keep
us at rest. The same principle holds good when we measure the weight of an object by
a Spring balance hung from a fixed point e.g. the ceiling. The object would fall down
unless it is subject to a force opposite to gravity. This is exactly what the spring exerts
on the object. This is because the spring is pulled down a little by the gravitational pull
of the object and in turn the spring exerts a force on the object vertically upwards.

PT4/ANNUAL EXAM | 2023-24 | CL. 11 | PHYSICS | PRINTED Q 33 PRINTED PAGES 5 | PAGE# 4

 Now, imagine that the top end of the balance is no longer held fixed to the top ceiling
of the room. Both ends of the spring as well as the object move with identical
acceleration g. The spring is not stretched and does not exert any upward force on the
object which is moving down with acceleration g due to gravity. The reading recorded
in the spring balance is zero since the spring is not stretched at all. If the object were a
human being, he or she will not feel his weight since there is no upward force on him.
Thus, when an object is in free fall, it is weightless and this phenomenon is usually
called the phenomenon of weightlessness. In a satellite around the earth, every part
and parcel of the satellite has acceleration towards the centre of the earth which is
exactly the value of earth’s acceleration due to gravity at that position. Thus in the
satellite everything inside it is in a state of free fall. This is just as if we were falling
towards the earth from a height. Thus, in a manned satellite, people inside experience
no gravity. Gravity for us defines the vertical direction and thus for them there are no
horizontal or vertical directions, all directions are the same.

a) 20 km/s b) 11.2 km/s c) 2 km/s d) None of these

a) 24 hours b) 48 hours c) 72 hours d) None of these
