Physics notes for class 11 Science : Inertia

Physics notes for class 11 : Newton’s First Law defines Inertia: According to Newton’s first law of motion, a body remains to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless and until it is acted upon by an external force to change its state.This inability of a body to change by itself its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line is called inertia of that body.

Newton’s first law is called the Law of Inertia

So, one can define Inertia as “the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion”.

Quantitatively, the inertia of a body is measured by the mass of the body that means heavier the body greater is its inertia.

Types of Inertia:

Inertia of Rest: The tendency of a body to remain in its state of rest is called Inertia of Rest. That means a body at rest remains at rest and cannot move on its own.

Example:

A person standing in a bus falls backward with a jerk when the driver starts the bus suddenly. It is because our feet are in touch with the floor of the bus. While our feet go with the bus the rest of the body remains where it is due to inertia and we are thrown backward.
When a horse starts running suddenly, the rider on the horse falls backward.
When we place a coin on a smooth piece of cardboard covering a glass and strike the cardboard piece with finger suddenly, the cardboard slips away and the coin falls into the glass.
When we shake the branch of a tree, its fruits and dry leaves fall down.
Dust gets removed when we beat a hanging carpet with a stick.

Inertia of Motion: The tendency of a body to remain in its state of uniform motion

in a straight line is called Inertia of Motion.

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of One and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the plural . We can add –S, -es, -ves or ies to show that there is more than one noun. For example, we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use s , es, ves or ies in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss form plurals by taking –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
