Lesson–4 : Laws of Motion
Stage–3 (Part–VII) : Case Studies, Answer Writing & Exam Confidence
🔹 PART–AJ : CASE STUDY–BASED QUESTIONS (NEW PATTERN)
Case–1:
A bus starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. Passengers inside the bus experience different effects.
(a) Why do passengers fall backward when the bus starts suddenly?
Due to inertia of rest, passengers tend to remain at rest while the bus moves forward, causing them to fall backward.
(b) Which law of motion explains this effect?
Newton’s First Law of Motion.
(c) What happens if the bus stops suddenly?
Passengers fall forward due to inertia of motion.
Case–2:
A stone is tied to a string and whirled in a horizontal circle.
(a) Which type of inertia is involved?
Inertia of direction.
(b) What happens if the string breaks?
The stone moves tangentially to the circular path.
(c) Which law of motion explains this?
Newton’s First Law of Motion.
🔹 PART–AK : VERY IMPORTANT “EXPLAIN WHY” QUESTIONS
1. Why are seat belts provided in cars?
Seat belts increase the time of impact and prevent passengers from being thrown forward due to inertia during sudden braking.
2. Why is it difficult to walk on a smooth icy road?
Due to low friction, sufficient backward force cannot be applied on the ground to move forward.
3. Why does a rocket move forward when gases are expelled backward?
According to Newton’s Third Law, expulsion of gases backward produces an equal and opposite force on the rocket, pushing it forward.
🔹 PART–AL : MIXED THEORY + NUMERICAL QUESTIONS
1. Explain impulse and derive its relation with change in momentum.
Impulse is defined as the product of force and time.
Impulse = F × t = change in momentum.
2. A force of 100 N acts on a body of mass 20 kg for 5 s. Find (a) acceleration, (b) change in velocity, (c) impulse.
Solution:
a = F/m = 100/20 = 5 m/s²
Δv = at = 5 × 5 = 25 m/s
Impulse = F × t = 100 × 5 = 500 N s
🔹 PART–AM : HOW TO FRAME PERFECT ANSWERS (STEP-WISE)
- Start with definition / law
- Write formula clearly
- Explain with reason or diagram (if required)
- Give real-life example
- End with a concluding line
This structure fetches full marks even in strict evaluation.
🔹 PART–AN : MARKS DISTRIBUTION (EXAMINER VIEW)
- Correct definition / law – 1–2 marks
- Correct explanation – 2–3 marks
- Correct numerical steps – 3–4 marks
- Units & neatness – 1 mark
🔹 PART–AO : LAST-DAY EXAM STRATEGY (GOLDEN RULES)
- Attempt Laws of Motion first – scoring chapter
- Write F = ma confidently after FBD
- Use textbook language in theory answers
- Do not overthink simple questions
🔹 PART–AP : FINAL CONFIDENCE CHECK
- Can you explain all laws without looking?
- Can you solve lift problems in one go?
- Can you explain impulse with examples?
- Can you identify inertia type instantly?
