EFFECTS OF FRICTION ON THE MOTION OF A VEHICLE
1. Tyre surtace: I tyre surface is in good condition then there is more friction between the tyre and
the road. The moving vehicle can be stopped easily within the stopping distance.
2. Road Condition: If toa is wet, the friction between tyres and road reduces, resulting in increase
to the stopping distance. The vehicles can also skid at turns, due to weiness of road.
3. Braking Force: If braking padsidscs are in good condition, then braking force causes more
friction and siopping distance reduces,
BRAKING, THINKING & STOPPING DISTANCES.
1. Braking distance: The cistance traveled by a moving vehicle curing the time thatthe brakes are
‘applied.
2. Thinking distance: The distance travelled by moving vehicle during the reaction time of driver,
ibefore appiyng the brakes.
3 Stopping distance: The total distance travelled by moving vehicle, between thinking the distance
and stopping the vehicle, Le.
‘Stopping distance = thinking distance + breaking distance.
‘The braking, thinking and stopping distances are not equal due to folowing factors.

‘TURNING EFFECT:
When a force is applied then object may tun round a fixed point. This is called turing elfet of force. The
point around which object tune is called pivot or hinge or fulrum,
“The turing effect depends on
'8). Magnitude of force (F) applied
b) The perpendicular cistanced (A) from the line of action of force tothe iva.
Examples of Turning Effect:
2). Opening of ahinged door.
'b) Paddling ofa bicycle.

|Unit-10 TRANSFER OF THERMAL ENERGY
There are theee methods of heat transfer.
‘* Conduction
= Convection
‘+ Radiation
‘The detail of each method is described below:
‘+ Conduction: Conduction isthe transfor of heat mainly through soli. When heat is supplied to
‘one end of a solid, then its molecules gain heat energy and vibrate vigorously. The ke of
Vibrating molecules is passed on to the neighboring molecules and so on. In this way heat is
ttansferted throughout the sold by vibration of molecules from one end to the other.
+ Convection: Convection isthe transfer of heat through fluids (liquid and gases). When heat is
supplied to a liquid, then liquid expands and becomes less dense, The less dense liquid rises
Upwards and more dense liquid atthe top sinks downwards. Therefore a cyclic process of quid
‘movernent takes place due to density ference and heat is transferred throughout the laud
+ Radiation: Radiation the transfer of heat mainly through vacuum. Unlie conduction and
convection, raviation does not require any medium for heat transfer. The heat is transfered in the
form of electromagnetic radiations (mainly intra red), which do nat require any medium. e.g. heat
{energy rom the sun reaches the earth by the process of radiation.

‘Thermal Expansion:
‘The increase in the volume of a substance on heating is called thermal expansion. When a substance is.
heated, its molecules gain heat energy and move apart from each other. The average gap between
‘molecules increases and substance expands
‘Order of Expansion:
‘The amount of expansion depends on the intermolecular forces of a substance. The stronger the
intermolecular forces, the least the expansion and vice versa, For the same quantity of heat supalied, the
following isthe order of expansion.
Expansion of gases > expansion of liquids > expansion of solids.
“The relative order of expansion of solids, liquids and gases is [Link].

Reflection of Sound - Echo:
‘When sound is incident on a big surtace area, the part
‘of sound energy is reflected. The retlected sound waves
heard after a silence, is called an echo.

Applications of Echo:
There are many uses of echoes. The applications of echoes include the measuring of large distances or
the detection of the location of objects that are not easily sighted.at 15 5 Prysce OL

Among animals, bats are known to use echoes to detect the presence of obstacles during fight. They
‘emit @ high frequency sound or ulasound thas reflected off objects in ther path. The echo is heard by
the bats which can then pinpoint the postion of abstacles and thus avoid them,
LOUDNESS, PITCH AND QUALITY (TIMBRE) OF SOUND.
+ Loudness
Ite energy carried by a sound wave is larger, then sound is louder and vice versa. Loudness
‘depends on amplitude, the lager isthe amplitude, the louder isthe sound and vice versa
Pitch:
Pitch determines the sharpness of sound. It depends on frequency of sound wave. Higher is the
frequency, more sharp is the sound and higher isthe pitch and vice versa,
+ Quality (timbre):
The combined effect of diferent sound waves determines the timbre of sound. When sounds of
higher frequencies are added to the fundamental frequency of an instrument, then different
wavelorms are produced as shown in figs.

ULTRASOUND:
Ultrasound is sound waves with frequency greater than 20000Hz. Usrasound is inaudible to
humans. Ulrasound is used for:
1. Pre-natal scanning:
Ultrasound can be Used to obtain images of the internal parts of body. Ultrasound pulses are sent
into body by means of a transmiter. The echoes reflected from any surfaces help in pre-natal
‘examination to examine the development ofthe foetus.
2. Cleaning:
‘The transmission of high ultrasound may result in the creation of cavitation bubbles, due to
tarefacions. These cavitation bubbles may displace contaminant from ieregular surlaces or
internal cavities
3. Quality contro:
Due fo excessive use ceacks appear inthe interior of the moving pars of high speed heavy
‘machines such as turbines, engines of ships and aero planes. These cracks are not visible from
‘outside. Such cracks can be detected by urasound. A powerful beam of ultrasound is made to
pass through these defective pars. The relleced pulses of ullrasound trom defective paris can

BASIC CONCEPTS:
> There are two types of charged particles ie. electrons which carry negative charges and protons
which carry postive charge.
> number of electrons on an object are larger than number of protons then that object carries
negative charge. ie. gain of electrons mean negative charges.
> number of elecrons on an object are less than numer of protons then that object caries positive
‘charge ie. loss of electrons mean positive charges.
> Like charges repel one another and unlike charges attract one another.
‘The SI unit of charge is Coulomb (C). The charge on an electron or proton is 1.6x10""C ie,
6.25210'¥electrons or protons make one coulomb charge.
> Conductors are substances that have tree elecons, and are able to conduct electricity e.g, metals
lke siver, copper and Iron ete.
> Ingulators are substances that do not have free electrons, and thus cannot conduct electricy e.g
lass, plastic and wood ete
CHARGING BY FRICTION:
Due to rubbing of two objects, heating effect is produced by fiction. The electrons gain energy and may
shift from one object tothe other.
+The object from which electrons are shifted carries postive charge.
+ The abject on which electrons are shite carries negative charge.
‘The experimental results of charges by friction are given in the table below.

ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION:
"When a charged object is brought near a neutral one, then positve and negative charges on neutral
‘bject are separates. This effects called electrostatic induction.”
Explanation:
Step 1: Rub the ebonite rod with fur to make the rod negatively charged,
