Important points to remember about Laws Of Motion class 11

•  force is required to put a stationary body in motion or stop a moving body, and some external agency is needed to provide this force.
•  The external agency may or may not be in contact with the body.  An external force is required to keep a body in motion. When the car is in uniform motion, there is no net external force acting on it: the force by the child cancels the force ( friction)by the floor. 
• The corollary is: if there were no friction,the child would not be required to apply any force to keep the toy car in uniform motion.
• The opposing forces such as friction (solids) and viscous forces (for fluids) are always present in the natural world.  If the planes are smooth, the final height of the ball is nearly the same as the initial height (a little less but never greater). In the ideal situation, when friction is absent, the final height of the ball is the same as its initial height. 
• If the slope of the second plane is decreased and the experiment repeated, the ball will still reach the same height, but in doing so, it will travel a longer distance.
•  In the limiting case, when the slope of the second plane is zero (i.e. is a horizontal) the ball travels an infinite distance.
• In other words, its motion never ceases.
• first law of motion:Every body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by some external force to act otherwise no net force acting on the body.
•  It is incorrect to assume that a net force is needed to keep a body in uniform motion. 
• To maintain a body in uniform motion, we need to apply an external force to ecounter the frictional force, so that the two forces sum up to zero net external force.
• To summarise, if the net external force is zero,a body at rest continues to remain at rest and a body in motion continues to move with a uniform velocity. This property of the body is called inertia. Inertia means ‘resistance to change’.
• A body does not change its state of rest or uniform motion, unless an external force compels it to change that state.
• Momentum of a body is defined to be the product of its mass m and velocity v, and is denoted by p:p = m v 
• Momentum is clearly a vector quantity. product of mass and velocity, that is momentum.
• second law of motion expressed by Newton as follows :The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.
• large force acting for a short time to produce a finite change in momentum is called an impulsive force. 
• mutual forces for each pair are equal and opposite, the momentum changes cancel in pairs and the total momentum remains unchanged.This fact is known as the law of conservation of momentum .
• action-reaction pair consists of mutual forces which are always equal and opposite between two bodies. Two forces on the same body which happen to be equal and opposite can never constitute an action-reaction pair.
