Example:, a) The earth revolves around the sun in circular, path due to gravitational force of attraction between, the sun and the earth., b) A relative motion between two solid surfaces in, contact gives rise to a force friction., ii), A pseudo force is one which arises due to the, acceleration of the observer's frame of reference., Example :, a. When a vehicle moves along a curved road, a, passengerin the vehicle experiences a force in the, outward direction i.e., away from the centre of the, curved road. This is due to pseudo force., b. When we are travelling by a bus and if it stops, suddenly, we feel a push in forward direction., Q.13. Explain the concept of centripetal force., Ans:, i), Def. : The force acting along the radius and towards, centre of circle is called as centripetal force, ii), The force providing centripetal or radial acceleration, is called as centripetal or radial force., where, r = radius of circular path., , iv), v), , *, , *, , *, , *, , In magnitude,, , r, The direction of this force is along the radius and, towards centre (centre seeking)., Example: A stone tied at the end of a string is revolved, in a horizontal circle, the tension in the string provides, the necessary centripetal force., The word centripetal is NOT the name or type of, that force (like gravitational force, nuclear force,, etc). It is the adjective or property of that force., While performing circular or rotational motion, the, resultant of all the real forces acting upon the body, is (or, must be) towards the centre, hence we call, this resultant force to be centripetal force. Under, the action of this resultant force, the direction of, the velocity is always maintained tangential to the, circular track., The vice versa need not be true, i.e., the resultant, force directed towards the centre may not always, result into a circular motion., It occurs in an inertial frame of reference in which, we are observing that the body is performing a, circular motion., , 11 th (Sci.), , Ans:, i), , A force equal in magnitude to the resultant real force,, but directed opposite, i.e., away from the centre is called, centrifugal force., , 2, , mv 2, =, r, , ii), , In magnitude FCFF = mr, , iii), , It is a pseudo force arising due to the centripetal, acceleration of the frame of reference., , iv), , Example : A bucket full of water is rotated in a vertical, circle at a particular speed, so that water does not fall., This is because, weight of water is balanced by, centrifugal force acting on it., , Note :*, , The force acting on a particle performing U.C.M, which is along the radius and directed away from, centre of circle is called centrifugal force., , Q.15.

Page 5 :
ii), , Before merry-go-round reaches its uniform speed, one, experiences an outward pull as the centrifugal force is, greater than the resultant force towards the centre., iii), Hence, centrifugal force is a non-real force, but NOT, an imaginary force., iv) On reaching the uniform speed, in the frame of reference, of merry-go-round, this centrifugal force exactly, balances the resultant of all the real forces. The resultant, force in that frame of reference is thus zero. Thus, only, in such a frame of reference we can say that the, centrifugal force balances the centripetal force., v), It must be remembered that in this case, centrifugal force, means the ‘net pseudo force’ and centripetal force, means the ‘resultant of all the real forces’., Q.17.

Now whirl the spring, balance so that the mass performs,a horizontal motion., You will notice that the balance now reads more mass, for the same mass. Can you explain this?, Ans:, i), When the spring balance performs'horizontal motion,, the mass attached to the spring balance' experiences, centrifugal force., ii) Thus, the net force acting on the mass is the sum of, centrifugal force and its weight., Hence, the spring balance reads more mass when set, in horizontal circular motion., *, *, , 11 th (Sci.), , Forces acting on the car (considered to be a particle):, (a) Weight (mg), vertically downwards,, (b)Normal reaction (N), vertically upwards that, balances the weight, (c) Force of static friction (fs) between road and the, tyres., Since, normal reaction balances the weight, N = mg, ....(1), The friction over here is static friction which acts as, resultant centripetal force because it prevents the vehicle, from outward slipping or skidding., While working in the frame of reference attached, to the vehicle, the frictional force balances the, centrifugal force., , 5, , .....(2), , 2, , ......(3), vi., , vii., , For a given track, radius r is constant. For given vehicle,, mg = N is constant. Thus, as the speed v increases, the, force of static friction fs also increases., However, fs has an upper limit (fs)max= sN, where s is, the coefficient of static friction between road and tyres, of the vehicle. This imposes an upper limit to the speed, v.

We have mentioned about static friction between, road and the tyres. Why is it static? What about, the kinetic friction between road and the tyres?, Ans:, i), The patch of tyres (made of rubber) which is actually, touching the road is not moving with respect to the road., It is static for a certain period every revolution., ii), Hence, static friction acts between tyres of car and road, but not kinetic friction even when the tyres are rolling., Q.23. What do you do if your vehicle is trapped on a, slippery or a sandy road? What is the physics, involved?, Ans:, When a vehicle is trapped on a slippery or a sandy, road, an additional force is required so that it can, overcome the strong frictional force between the tyres, and slippery or sandy road., Q.24. What is meant by well of death? Where can it be, seen?, Ans:, i), Well of death is a vertical cylindrical wall of radius 'r', inside which a vehicle is driven in horizontal circles., ii), It can be seen while performing stunts., Q.25.

What will happen to the string if tension at the, uppermost point during vertical circular motion, becomes zero?, Ans: Tension at uppermost point can never be exactly equal, to zero, else, the string will slack., Q.39. Why is it not possible to determine the time, period or frequency of vertical circular motion., Ans: The position vector or velocity at any instant can be, determined using the energy conservation. But as the, function of the radius vector is not integrable (definite, integration is not possible), theoretically it is not possible, to determine the period or frequency. However,, experimentally the period can be measured., Note :i), None of the parameters (including the linear and, angular accelerations) are constant during such a, motion and hence kinematical equations are not, applicable., , i), , A bob (point mass) tied to a (practically massless and, rigid) rod and whirled along a vertical circle., , ii), , The basic difference between the rod and the string is, that the string needs some tension at all the points,, including the uppermost point while mass tied to a rod, doesn't need tension at any point., , Q.41.
