    During a sharp turn, the application of an unbalanced force by the engine affects our motion by providing the necessary centripetal force to keep the vehicle on its curved path. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the unbalanced force, directed toward the center of the turn, overcomes our body’s inertia and prevents it from continuing in a straight line. This force facilitates the change in direction, allowing the vehicle and its occupants to navigate the turn smoothly.

  2. It is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books due to the difference in mass and inertia. Newton's second law of motion states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). The filled box has greater mass due to the added weight of books, requiring more force to achRead more

    It is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books due to the difference in mass and inertia. Newton’s second law of motion states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). The filled box has greater mass due to the added weight of books, requiring more force to achieve the same acceleration. Additionally, the books inside increase the box’s inertia, resisting changes in motion. Consequently, more force is needed to overcome the inertia of the heavier, filled box, making it comparatively more challenging to push than the lighter, empty box.

  3. The difference in the flight of a football and a stone of the same size when kicked lies in their masses. Newton's second law of motion states that force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). When kicked, the force applied to both the football and stone is relatively similar, but sinceRead more

    The difference in the flight of a football and a stone of the same size when kicked lies in their masses. Newton’s second law of motion states that force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). When kicked, the force applied to both the football and stone is relatively similar, but since the football has less mass than the stone, it experiences a higher acceleration. This results in the football flying away, while the stone, with its greater mass, moves less. The acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, highlighting the impact of mass on the resulting motion.

  4. Despite applying equal force, kicking a stone and a football can lead to different outcomes due to the stone's higher mass. According to Newton's second law of motion, force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). In this context, the stone, having greater mass than the football, experieRead more

    Despite applying equal force, kicking a stone and a football can lead to different outcomes due to the stone’s higher mass. According to Newton’s second law of motion, force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). In this context, the stone, having greater mass than the football, experiences lower acceleration for the same force. As a result, when kicked, the stone moves less but exerts a higher impact force on the kicker’s foot due to its greater mass. This increased force, combined with the stone’s rigid nature, raises the risk of injury compared to kicking a softer and less massive object like a football.

  5. The force required to perform an activity using a five-rupees coin compared to a one-rupee coin depends on the mass of the coins. According to Newton's second law of motion, force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). If the five-rupees coin has a greater mass than the one-rupee coin,Read more

    The force required to perform an activity using a five-rupees coin compared to a one-rupee coin depends on the mass of the coins. According to Newton’s second law of motion, force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). If the five-rupees coin has a greater mass than the one-rupee coin, the force required to perform an activity with the five-rupees coin will be higher. Conversely, if the masses are the same, the force required would be equal. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration emphasizes that force is directly proportional to mass.
