Revision Notes — Laws of Motion
Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Laws of Motion for JEE Advanced Physics preparation.
Key Topics to Revise
Types of Forces
- Field forces act without physical contact (gravitational, electrostatic)
- Contact forces require physical contact between objects
- Contact force F = √(N² + f²) where N is normal reaction and f is friction
Free Body Diagrams and Equilibrium
- Free body diagram shows all forces acting on a single isolated body
- For equilibrium: ΣFₓ = 0, ΣFᵧ = 0, Στ = 0
- Resolution of forces into rectangular components simplifies analysis
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law: Object continues in uniform motion unless acted by unbalanced force
- Second Law: F = ma, acceleration is proportional to net force
- Third Law: Every action has equal and opposite reaction
Constraint Equations
- Constraint equations relate accelerations of different parts of a system
- String constraint: total length remains constant
- For simple pulley: a₁ + a₂ = 0 (accelerations are opposite)
