Class 10 Notes Physics ( Force )

 Physics Note ( Force )



1) Clarify the statement , ''acceleration due to gravity of the earth is 9.8m/s^2 '' ?
👉 Acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8m/s^2 means that every freely falling object towards the earth  increase its velocity by 9.8m/s in every second i.e., at the rate of 9.8m/s per second .

2)The moon has no atmosphere , why ?
👉 Moon has no atmosphere because it has very small gravity so that it cannot hold the gases and therefore the gases escape into the space (with their escape velocity) .

3)Why is the weight of a body more at the pole than at the equator of the earth ?
👉 We know that the weight of a body (W) = m*g . For the the constant mass (m) of a body , the weight is directly proportional to acceleration due to gravity i.e., W α g. Since the value of "g" is more at the pole of the earth due to having smaller radius than  that of the equator , so, the weight of object is more at poles than at the equator of the earth .

4)A piece of stone and a feather are dropped from the same height at lunar (moon's) surface .Which one will reach on the surface fast and why ?
👉If a piece of stone and a feather are dropped from the same height at Lunar (Moon's) surface , then both of them will reach on the surface together (at a same time ) . It is because the moon does not have atmosphere so that due to lack of air resistance , every falling object falls freely on the moon's surface with the acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity of the moon .

5)The weight of a body decreases (becomes lesser )in a coal mine , why ?
👉We know that the weight of a body of mass 'm'  is (W) = m × g and the acceleration due to gravity 'g' is inversely proportional to the depth below the earth's surface . So; while going downward in the coal mine, the value of 'g' goes on decreasing which results the decrease of weight of the body inside the coal mine .

6)Though the mass of the Jupiter is about 319 times that of the Earth , its acceleration due to gravity is only about 2.5 times of that of the earth , why ? 
👉We know that the acceleration due to gravity of a planet or satellite depends not only with its mass , but also on its radius i.e., acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet/satellite and inversely proportional to the square of its radius i.e., g α M and g ∝ 1/R^2 , Though the mass of Jupiter is about 319 times of that of the earth , its radius is also more; which is about 11 times the radius of the earth which results the acceleration due to gravity of the Jupiter only about 2.5 times of that of the Earth; which is not so significantly higher .

7)It is difficult to lift a bigger (massive) stone than  the smaller stone , why ?
👉We know that the weight of a body or gravity on a body is directly proportional to its mass i.e., W∝ m and also the  bigger the mass , higher the inertia will be . So the bigger the stone due to having more weight or more gravity on it and more inertia than that of the smaller stone , it is difficult to lift (to work against gravity) the bigger stone than the smaller stone .

8)Mass is measured by physical /beam balance but the weight is measured by spring balance, why ?
👉As the mass is the amount of matter contained in a body and equal mass experiences the equal gravity , the mass of a body is measured by using a beam balance by comparing the gravity acting on it and that on the standard ( known ) mass . But, since the weight is the measure of gravity on a body , it is measured by using a spring balance as it has only one pan that measures the total gravity acted on it .

9)Why ' G ' is called universal gravitational constant ?
👉Since the value of 'G' is independent to any two masses of the universe , their shape or size or structure , the distance and the medium between them , is called the universal gravitational constant .

10)The weight of a body is more on the Jupiter than that on the Earth , why ?
👉We know that the weight of a body is directly proportional to the acceleration due to gravity i.e. W α g . The  acceleration due to gravity of Jupiter is more ( about 2.5 times ) than that of the earth due to the bigger mass of Jupiter so that the weight of a body is more on Jupiter than that on the earth .

History Of The Earth

Biological time line of the Earth  Astronomical and geological evidence indicates that the earth was formed about 4.54 billion years ago . About 14 billion years ago ,there was a massive explosion called ''The Big Bang'', which released radiation ,particles and clouds of atoms . This Bag Bang is believed to have given birth to the Universe . Gravity condensed the atoms into galaxies where  stars appeared These Stars then began creating new types of atoms as they aged and exploded as supernovae . The Sun was formed around 4.5 billion years ago followed by the Earth around the same time.             Did you Know  ?   There is a lot of water in the Earth's atmosphere . In fact, there is enough water to cover the entire surface of the Earth with one inch of water ! Our planet is located  in the perfect place for our  need for water . If it was any closer or farther away from the Sun , all that water would either boil away or freeze...

Cryptocurrency Explained

Cryptocurrency For Beginners Imagine you're having conversation with your friends now at same point in this conversation someone's going to bring up crypto currencies now crypto currencies is something that everyone  wants to talk about no one really knows how they work so today I'm going to fix that . Crypto currency explained since man ,  world currency has been a very important part of our lives in caveman era they use the barter system now the barter system involves goods and services being exchange among each other so now we have a situation where two person is exchanging five apples and getting oranges in return now barter system fell out of use because it had some glaring flaws now these flaws include having peoples requirement coincide for example say you have five apples and your friend has five oranges now until and unless your friend has a requirement of apple you can't get oranges .               You will not be ready to make an e...

Global Warming

            G lobal W arming can be known as the increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere due to different causes . According to scientists , its temperature is gradually increasing mainly because of human activities . Now this essay presents some of its causes , effects , and preventive measures and solutions .             Some of the major causes of global warming include ejection of unwanted gases or greenhouse gases due to human activities and volcanic eruptions . It has been estimated that average global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃ during the 21st century as the result  of ejaculation of the gases . On Earth , the major greenhouse gases involve water vapor , carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) , ozone ( O 3 ) and nitrous oxide ( N 2O) . These gases are produced by burning solid wastes , fossil fuels , firewood and modern farming . Similarly , automobiles and factories are o...
