State whether the following statements are true of false correct the statement if it is false.
1. Newton’s first law explains inertia:
2. If a motion depends on force then it is called as natural motion.
3. The resistance of a body to change its state of motion is known as inertia of motion.
4. Linear momentum = mass x acceleration.
5. Two equal force acting in opposite directions are called unlike parallel forces.
6. If the resultant force of three force acting on body is zero then the forces are called balanced forces.
7. Torque is a scalar quantity.
8. Moment of couple = Force x⊥r distance between line of action of forces
9. Principle of moments states that moment in clockwise direction = Moment in anti clockwise direction.
10. 1 Newton = 1 g cm s-2
11. Impulse = Force
12. Propulsion of rockets is based Newton’s third law of motion and conservation of linear momentum.
13. The value of universal gravitational constant is 6.674 x 10-11 Nm2 kg-2
14. The relation between g and G is g =\(\frac{Gm}{R^2}\)
15. The value of acceleration due to gravity decreases as the altitude of the body increases.
16. In a ‘free fall’ motion acceleration of the body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity
