Fill in the blanks

1. The study of motion of a body under the action of a force is called ______.

2. (Impulse/Force/Pressure) ______ is a push or pull acting upon an object.

3. The natural tendency of objects to resist a change in their state of rest or of uniform motion is called ______.


4. When the resultant of all the forces acting on a body is zero, the forces are _______ (balanced/unbalanced).

5. When The resultant of all the forces acting on a body is not zero, the forces are _______ (balanced/unbalanced).

6.  Newton’s first law of motion states that a body at rest will remain at _____ (rest/motion) and a body in motion will remain in ________ (uniform/non-uniform) motion unless acted upon by an
_________ (balanced/unbalanced) force.

7. The ______  of an object is a measure of its inertia.

8. _________  (Nuclear/Gravitational/Muscular) Force is the weakest force

9. _______ (Nuclear/Gravitational/Muscular) force is the strongest force of all the basic forces in nature.

10.  An imaginary co-ordinate system which is either at rest or in uniform and where Newton’s laws are valid is called an _______ frame of reference.

11. (Centrifugal/Centripetal) ________  force is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation.

12. The radially inward force towards the centre which continuously deflects a particle from its straight line path and makes it along a circular path is called _______ (centrifugal/centripetal) force.

13. The momentum of an object is the product of its _____ and _______ and has the same direction as that of the ________. 

14. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of ______ of a body is directly proportional to the force and takes place in the same direction as the ______.

15. Action and reaction forces act on ________ (the same body/two different bodies)  but they are ______ (equal/unequal) in magnitude.

16. When the resultant force acting on a system is zero , the total momentum of the system  ______ (remains constant/ may vary). This is called ___________________ .
