6.Direction of motion is due to __________. 

7.  __________ proposed  the concepts of force , motion and inertia of bodies.

 8. Unit of momentum in CGS system is __________. 

9.Torque =  __________  × __________. 

10.  SI unit of G is __________.

 III. State whether the statements are true or false. 

Correct the false statement                     (4 × 1 = 4) 

11.  Rest and motion are not related terms.

 12.  Violent motion is a force  dependent. 

13.  The unit of impulse and  force is same. 

14.  If the  resultant force of all  the forces acting  on  a  body  is  equal  to zero,  then  the body  will  be  in  equilibrium. Such forces are called Unbalanced forces.

IV. Match the following.                        (4 × 1 = 4) 

15.  Force  -(a)cause of motion 

16.  Moment of force -(b)momentum

 17.  Newton -(c)push or pull

18.  m × v    - (d)Torque

V.  Assertion and Reasoning                 (3 × 1 = 3

Direction:  In  each  of  the  following  questions,  a  statement  of  Assertion is  given  and  a  corresponding  statement  of Reason is given just below it.Of the statements given below,mark the correct answer as 

a. If both A  and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. 

b. If both A  and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. 

C.If A is true but R is false. 

D.If both A  and R are false. 

19.  Assertion:  The sum of  the clockwise moments is equal to the sum  of the anticlockwise moments.

Reason:  The principle  of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero 

20.  Assertion:  The resistance of a body to  change its state of rest is called inertia of rest. 

Reason:  When you vigorously shake the branches of a tree, some of the leaves and fruits are detached and they fall down 

21.  Assertion  :           Torqueismeasuredbytheproductoftheforceandtheperpendiculardistancebetweenthefixed pointor the fixed axis and the line of action of the force. 

Reason:Auto mobile sare fitted with springs and shock absorbers to reduce jerks while moving on uneven road.

25.  Newton, Galileo, Aristotle, Einstein. 

26.  F = ₂  +  F₂, F = F₁  – F₂, F = F₁  = F₂, R=0. 

27.  980 dynes, 9.8 N, 105  dyne. 


VIII. Correct the mistakes

 28.  Kinematics deals with the motion of bodies considering the cause of motion. 

29.  Inertia of rest is the resistance of a body to change  its state of motion
