State Newtons First Law of Motion

A body continues in its unaccelerated state of motion unless acted upon by an external
force (or a body stays at rest or continues to move with a constant velocity unless .)
State Newtons Second Law of Motion
The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the net force acting on
the body and in the same direction as the force.
State Newtons Third Law of Motion
To every force exerted by a body A to a body B (action) there is an equal and opposite
force exerted by body B to body A (reaction)
What features do the action-reaction force pairs have?
They act on different bodies. They are of the same nature. They are equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction. They act along the same line.
Define Momentum
Momentum is a vector quantity that is equal to the product of the mass and the
velocity of a body.
Define Impulse
Impulse is a chunk of momentum. It is usually associated with the change of
momentum given to a body upon impact with another body.
What does the principle of Conservation of Momentum state?
In a system of bodies when there is no external force acting the total momentum stays
unchanged.
Define the moment of a force
Moment of a force about a point is the product of the force and the minimum distance
of the axis of the force from that point. Moments have direction. They are clockwise
or anticlockwise.
What does the principle of Moments state?
For a body to be in rotational equilibrium the sum of the moments about any point on
the body must be zero.
What conditions must be met for a body to be in equilibrium?
The sum of the forces acting on the body and the sum of the moments of those forces
about any point on the body must be zero.

Define Youngs Modulus

Youngs modulus is the ratio of stress over strain exerted on a body that has not
exceeded the elastic limit.
Define Tensile Strain and Tensile Stress
Tensile strain is the ratio of the extension over the original unstretched length for a
body under tensile stress. Tensile stress is the force per cross sectional area of a body
being stretched.
What does the area under the Stress Strain graph of a wire being stretched
represent?
It represents the energy stored per unit volume of the material for a particular strain.
Define Upthrust
Upthrust is a force that is experienced when a denser body finds itself in a less dense
liquid or gas and is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid or gas and acting in a
direction opposite to the gravitational attraction.
State Stokes Law of Viscous drag
The force of viscous drag opposes the motion of a spherical body in a viscous fluid
and is directly proportional to the speed and the radius of the sphere as well as the
coefficient of viscosity of the fluid. The law applies to laminar flow only.
Define Laminar Flow
Laminar flow is the flow of a liquid where each point along the flow has a constant
velocity over time. Or, laminar flow is the flow of a liquid where the flow can be
considered to exist in layers that do not mix and maintain a constant speed over time.
Define Turbulent Flow
Turbulent flow is the flow of a liquid where the velocity of flow at each point in the
flow undergoes sudden and unpredictable changes. The flow is chaotic and also has
eddies.
Define Energy
Energy is a scalar quantity that describes the work done or the work that can be done
by a body due to its state of motion or due to its temperature or due to its molecular
structure.
Define Acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity equal to the rate of change of velocity
