Read the paragraph and answer the questions:ParagraphConstant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force. The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The law defines a force to be equal to changes in momentum (mass times velocity) per change in time. Newton also developed the calculus of mathematics, and the “changes” “expressed in j the second law are most accurately defined in differential forms. (Calculus can also be used to determine the velocity and location variations experienced by an object subjected to an external force.) For an object with a constant mass the second law states that the force F is the product of an objects mass and its acceleration a:F = m * aFor an external applied force the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object.A force will cause in velocity; and likewise, a change in velocity will generate a force. The equation works both ways.The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal force on object: A.Notice that the forces are exerted on different objects. The third law can be used to explain the generation of lift by a wing and the production of thrust by a jet engine(i) A chalk kept on the table remains in the position of rest until moved by the teacher. Which law of motion is followed in this situation?(ii) What will happen to momentum if the mass and acceleration both are doubled?(iii) What will happen to momentum if the mass and acceleration both are halved?(iv) A moving stone filled truck collides with a moving car coming from opposite direction. Why is it observed that only the car is pushed backward?(v) What will happen to the force if the jet engines do not produce enough thrust to push the aeroplane in mid-air?

Answer»

(i) Newton’s 1st law is followed in this situation e

(ii) If the mass and acceleration both are doubled then the momentum will be increased four times

(iii) If the mass and acceleration both are doubled then the momentum will be decreased one four times

(iv) A stone filled truck as more mass than a car hence it has more momentum thus it is observed that only the car is pushed backward

(v) If the jet engines do not produce enough thrust to push the aeroplane in mid-air the force of aeroplane and resistance of air will become balanced thus putting the aeroplane at rest which will result in a crash.
