Laws of Motion

Types of Collisions

An accident usually involves colliding two bodies while we can see the world because photons, the particles of light, collide with objects and then come back to our eyes. In physics, a collision can be classified into different types of collisions based on the total energy of the system and the change in direction. A […]

Torricelli’s Law

Torricelli’s theorem, also known as Torricelli’s law, Torricelli’s principle, or Torricelli’s equation, states that the speed, v, of a liquid flowing under gravity out of an opening in a tank is proportional to the square root of the vertical distance, h, between the liquid surface and the centre of the opening and the square root

The frame of reference

Introduction The frame of reference can be defined as an arbitrary set of axes used to describe the position or motion of something or to develop physical laws. One of the most fundamental notions in kinematics is the frame of reference. Definition In dynamics, a reference frame, also known as a frame of reference, is

The Dimensional Formula of Momentum

Dimensional Formula: The Dimensional Formula of any bodily amount is defined as the expression that represents how and which of the bottom portions are protected in that amount. It is denoted by enclosing the symbols for base portions with suitable strength in rectangular brackets i.e [ ]. An example is the Dimension Formula of Mass

Scalar and Vector Quantity

Physics is a mathematical field of study. There is a mathematical foundation for the fundamental notions and principles. Throughout our physics studies, we will come across a variety of topics that have a mathematical foundation. While we will place a strong focus on the conceptual nature of physics, we will also pay close attention to

Relative Velocity

On occasion, one or even more objects move in a frame that is non-stationary concerning another observer, and we must deal with this situation. For example, a boat crossing a river flowing at a certain velocity or an aeroplane flying through the air while experiencing wind. In all of these instances, we must consider the

Relations For Uniformly Accelerated Motion

When a body moves in a plane or a straight line, three characteristics – distance, velocity, and acceleration – are employed to characterise its motion. The term “distance” or “displacement” is self-evident. The rate of change of position is represented by velocity, whereas the rate of change of velocity is represented by acceleration.  Displacement, velocity,

Properties of Eigenvalues

Before we get into the properties of Eigenvalues, let us have an overview of Eigenvalues.  Eigenvalues are frequently introduced in the subjects of linear algebra and matrix theory. Previously, however, they were used in the study of quadratic forms and differential equations.  Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors are regularly introduced to students in linear algebra courses focused
