Motion in a plane: Vector quantities, projectile motion

Projectiles in the horizontal direction include a ball thrown horizontally and a bullet shot from a rifle held horizontally, which are both instances of projectiles. There is just one initial velocity u for this form of projection, and it is only in the horizontal or x-direction. Although there is no start velocity in the vertical […]

Acceleration of a body is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Uniformly accelerated motion – The motion in which the acceleration of a particle is constant throughout the motion. For example, if we throw a ball vertically upwards, then the acceleration due to the gravity is constant from the

The physical quantity that shows both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. They have initial points and terminal points and are represented by arrows. The advancement of the algebra of vectors and vector analysis as we know it was first revealed in sets of remarkable notes made by J. Willard Gibbs (1839-1903), also known

In this article, we are going to discuss the concept of the frame of reference. A frame of reference is a system of coordinates used to identify a location or direction in space. The most commonly used frame of reference is the Cartesian coordinate system. In this system x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis are

Two vectors a and b are called parallel if the angle they form from the vertical axis or the horizontal axis (not necessarily together) is the same or equal. Another way to say it is: Two vectors a and b are called parallel if and only if the angle they form between them is zero

What are vectors? Recall that a vector is a mathematical quantity that has both magnitudes and directions. The length of a line can be described as its magnitude, while the arrow represents its direction. Its tail is the start point, and its head is the endpoint. When it comes to vectors, the best illustration is temperature change,

The equality of two vectors determines if two different vectors have the same direction and magnitude. It checks whether the length of the vectors is the same and all the points are in the same direction. If so, they are said to be equal. Suppose v1 and v2 are vectors. They are said to be

The position-time graph is one of the most important graphs in kinematics, which helps us determine a body’s motion. A position-time graph shows the changes in the values of a variable over time. Time is usually represented on the vertical axis, and values on the horizontal axis of a position-time graph.  Each point on the

A vector is a quantity that has both direction and magnitude. For example, when we say that a person is walking at a pace of 5 miles per hour, we describe a vector that is measured in miles per hour and has a direction forward. The resolution of a vector is a method for determining

An antiparallel vector is the opposite of a parallel vector. Since an anti parallel vector is opposite to the vector, the dot product of one vector will be negative, and the equation of the other vector will be negative to that of the previous one. The antiparallel vectors are a subset of all parallel vectors.
