Laws of Motion – Class 11 Physics NCERT | Newton’s Three Laws, Formulas & Derivations

🧲 Laws of Motion – Class 11 Physics (NCERT)

The Laws of Motion were given by Sir Isaac Newton and are fundamental to understanding force, motion, and mechanics in physics. This chapter from Class 11 NCERT explains how forces affect the motion of objects.

📘 Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

Statement: A body remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

🔹 This law defines inertia – the natural tendency of objects to resist change in their motion.

Inertia depends on mass. More mass → more inertia.

📌 Real-Life Example: You fall forward when a bus suddenly stops.

📘 Newton's Second Law of Motion

Statement: The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the force.

✅ Derivation:

  • Momentum, p = mv
  • Rate of change of momentum = d(mv)/dt = m dv/dt = ma (if mass is constant)
F = ma

📌 This is the most useful equation for calculating force, acceleration, or mass.

Units:

  • Force: Newton (N)
  • 1 N = 1 kg·m/s²

📘 Newton's Third Law of Motion

Statement: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Faction = – Freaction

📌 Examples:

  • A gun recoils when a bullet is fired.
  • We walk forward by pushing backward on the ground.

📚 Summary Table: Newton’s Laws of Motion

Law Meaning Formula
1st Law Inertia – object stays at rest or constant motion unless acted upon —
2nd Law Force = rate of change of momentum F = ma
3rd Law Every action has an equal and opposite reaction F1 = –F2

⚠️ Important Notes:

  • Friction opposes motion and acts opposite to applied force.
  • Contact forces include tension, normal force, friction.
  • Non-contact forces include gravitational, magnetic, electric forces.

📈 Applications of Newton's Laws

  • Free body diagrams
  • Calculating net force on bodies
  • Solving pulley problems and block motion

Agriculture,class10, geography important term and notes

AGRICULTURE Class 10 geography  Chapter 4 important term and notes for board. Cbse, state and other board exam https://digieducationlearningpoint.blogspot.com/?m=1   Important term 1. Primitive Substance Agriculture is practised with small patches of land with the help of  primitive tools like hoe, Dao and digging sticks, and family/community labour. This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown. 2. Slash and Burn Agriculture is a method of agriculture used in the tropics, in which forest vegetation is felled and burned, the land is cropped for a few years, then the forest is allowed to reinvade. 3. Intensive Subsistence Agriculture is a method of agriculture, where farmers get more food per acre compared to other subsistence farming methods. This allows farmers to make the most of each harvest. 4. Plantation usually a large farm or estate, especially in a tropical or s...

Is It Possible to Survive Without the Sun, Moon, and Stars?

Is It Possible to Survive Without the Sun, Moon, and Stars? Is It Possible to Survive Without the Sun, Moon, and Stars? Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Sun, Moon, and stars vanished? While it may sound like a science fiction scenario, imagining such a situation can help us understand how critical these cosmic objects are to life on Earth and beyond. 🌞 Without the Sun: Total Collapse of Life No sunlight means plants can’t perform photosynthesis, the base of our food chain collapses. Temperature drops drastically . Within a week, Earth's surface could hit -17°C; in a year, -73°C. Gravitational loss : Without the Sun's gravity, Earth and other planets would fly into space on a straight path. Solar energy ends : No solar panels, no photosynthesis, no Vitamin D—no life as we know it. 🌕 Without the Moon: Chaos on Earth No tides – disrupting marine ecosystems, whic...
