Heavier bodies need greater initial effort to put them in motion Way ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Newton s second law of motion
` F = ma` i.e. `F prop m`
`:.` For heavier bodies (of large mass ) , intial effort (i.e. Force F ) required is large.

Why do bodies of small mass require small initia, effort to bring them into motion?

Assertion: An object of mass m_1 and another of mass m_2(m_2gtm_1) are released from certain distance. The objects move towards each other under the gravitational force between them. In this motion, centre of mass of their system will continuously move towards the heavier mass m_2 . Reason: In a system of a heavier and a lighter mass, centre of mass lies closer to the heavier mass.

'An unbalanced external force is needed to initiate the motion from state of rest but no unbalanced net force is needed to sustain the uniform motion.' Read the statement made by Galileo and justify

Figure shows the velocity and acceleration of a point line body at the initial moment of its motion. The acceleration vector of the body remains constant. The minimum radius of curvature of trajectory of the body is

Two bodies move in a straight line towards each other at initial velocities v_(1) and v_(2) and with constant acceleration a_(1) and a_(2) directed against the corresponding velocities at the initial instant. What must be the maximum initial separation between the bodies for which they meet during the motion ?

A body is moving with a velocity 5m//s along a striaght line.A force of 10N is applied to the body perpendicular to the line of motion. If the body is of mass 2kg, then the acceleration of the body along the initial straight line of motion is :

The figure shows th velocity and acceleration of a point like body at the initial moment of its motion. The acceleration vector of the body remain constant. The minimum radius of curvature of trajectory of the body is

A body of mass m = 1 kg is thrown at an angle theta = 45^(@) to the horizontal with the initial velocity u = 10 m//s . Find the mean power delivered by gravity over the whole time of motion of the body.

A body of mass M moves in outer space with vleocity v. It is desired to break the body into two parts so that the mass of one part is one-tenth of the total mass. After the explosion, the heavier part comes to rest whole the lighter part continues to move in the original direction of motion. The velocity of the small part will be
