Question: 1
Motion with constant velocity is a special case of motion with constant acceleration.Is this statement true?
Answer: 1

Question: 2
What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?
Answer: 2
2-60Uniform Velocity: A body is said to have a uniform velocity if it covers equal displacement in equal intervals of time.
Variable Velocity: A body is said to have a variable velocity if it covers unequal displacements in equal intervals of time.
Question: 3
Can the velocity of an object reverse the direction when acceleration is constant? If so, given an example.
Answer: 3
3-60Yes, the velocity of a body can reverse its direction with constant acceleration For example, when a body is thrown vertically upward under the action of gravity, the velocity of the object will go on decreasing because force of gravity is acting downward.
When the object reaches the maximum height , its velocity becomes zero, and then the object reverses its direction of motion and start moving vertically downward.During the whole process, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

Question: 43
Discuss the condition of equilibrium ?
Answer: 43
43-60Newtons 1st Law of motion: This Law states that "A body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue its motion with uniform velocity unless it is acted upon by some unbalanced external force
If F = 0 Then a = 0
Explanation: The Ist law of motion is also known as law of inertia. The inertia is the property of a body which opposes any change in its state of motion or rest. Actually, when some force is applied on a body for changing its state of rest or uniform motion, then the body will affer resistance against this change. In the word, We can say that all the bodies try to maintain its state of rest or continue its uniform motion due to inertia. That is the why the newtons Ist law is also known as law of inertia.
Examples:When we give a jerk to the branch of a tree, then the fruit falls down. It is because, when we give a jerk, the branch of the tree comes into motion suddenly.
When a bus starts motion suddenly, the passengers experience a push in the back ward direction It is because, when the bus starts motion suddenly, the lower parts of the passenger in contact with the seats also come into motion. while the upper parts of the passengers are at remain at the rest In this attempt, they falls in the back words directions
Newton's 2nd Law of motion:
Statements: This law states that, "when a force is applied on a body, then acceleration is produced in the body in the direction of applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
Explanation: The Ist Law of motion gives us the quantitative measurements of force, While the 2nd law of motion gives us the quantitative measurements of forces. now if the direction of motion of the body and direction of motion of the body and direction of forces are the same, then its velocity and acceleration increases. If the direction of motion of the body and direction of force are opposite in direction of force are opposite in direction, then the velocity and acceleration of the body will decreases gradually and finally become zero and the body will come to rest
Example of newtons 2nd law of motion:
When a body falls on a solid floor from the top of a building, the body experience or feel great pain. It is because, when the body falls on the floor, its acceleration become zero suddenly and the body faces huge force for very short period of time
Newton,s 3rd Law of motion:
This Law states that for every action, there is always a reaction. These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
Explanation: This law tells us that no body can experience a force from its surrounding, until this body exerts any force on its surrounding It means That forces are exerted in pairs.
