A body continues to move along the same ...

A body continues to move along the same straight line some external force compels it to change its direction of motion Rather the body moving along a straight line opposes the force that tries to change its straight line the path This is well known property of inertia of direction Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) Mud guards over the wheels of an auto save us from mud .How ?
(ii) What are the implication of this study in day to day life?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The function of mud guards over the wheels of an auto is based on inertia of direction When the auto happens to pass through mud the mud particles fly along the tangent to the weels Theyare stoped by the mud gurads before they spoil our cloths.
(ii) In day to day life we find that some external effort in the form of motivation is always required to change any of our usal routine/habits If we are used to some sort of seting/convenience we ourselves resist the effort/motivation for change Consistent efforts and motivation are essential for bringing about any change .

Motion Along Straight Line

A body at rest continues to be at rest underless some external force force is applied to move it. Rather, the body at rest opposes the force that tends to move it. Left to itself, the body at rest, will never start moving. This is well known property of inertia of rest of bodies, we study in Physics. ltRead carefully the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) When a bus start moving suddenly, the passengers tend to fall backward. Why? (ii) Give one more example of inertia of rest. (iii) What values do you inculcate in life from this study?

Knowledge Check

  • A particle is moving along a straight line.

    A
    If the acceleration of the particle is more than that of another object, the particle is moving faster.
    B
    If the acceleration is positive, the speed must be increasing.
    C
    If the acceleration and the velocity have the same sign, the speed must be increasing.
    D
    If the acceleration is zero, the velocity is constant but the speed may be changing.
  • Which of the following graph for a body moving along a straight line is possible ?

    A
    B
    C
    D
  • If a force is applied at an angle to a body moving along a straight line:

    A
    the body continues to move in the direction of force
    B
    the body continues to move in its initial direction of motion
    C
    the body moves in a fixed direction other than that of force and initial motion.
    D
    the body moves in a direction other than that of force and initial motion wich varies with time.
