Impulse

As we already mentioned, the impulse is the amount or quantity of force acting on a certain body in a given time that changes its momentum. The amount of effect a force brings is directly proportional to the duration of time the force acts. Force and impulse are both vectors (quantity with both magnitude and direction). For […]

General scalar springs

Hooke’s Law, often known as the Law of Elasticity, was postulated in 1660 by an English scientist named Robert Hooke. According to Hooke’s Law, “whenever an object undergoes a relatively slight deformation, the size of the deformation is directly proportional to the displacement load or force.” Moreover, Hooke’s Law is an excellent example of elasticity,

Force and Momentum

The quantity of motion contained within a moving item is known as momentum. The external action of pulling or pushing something is known as force. A force causes a shift in momentum. When the velocity varies, the momentum changes, but when the acceleration changes, the force changes. Even if the velocity changes, the force remains

Force and Inertia

Inertia Sir Isaac Newton’s contributions to physics are unparalleled. In classical physics, his laws of motion altered everything. The first of his three laws of motion deals with inertia. So let’s begin by defining inertia.  The Latin word ‘iners,’ which means lethargic or idle, is the root of the English word ‘inertia.’ Kepler was the

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions Introduction We come across the term “collision” when we study science. This is because it has a significant role in physics. When one moving object collides powerfully with another entity, this phenomenon occurs. Is there a chance that the collision will lead to  different questions? Like, is it elastic or inelastic?

Dimensional Formula Of Velocity

When studying kinetics, it is important to know about scalar and vector quantities. A quantity that possesses a specific magnitude but to a specific direction is called a scalar quantity, whereas a quantity that possesses a particular magnitude and direction as well is called a vector. One such important vector quantity is velocity which we
