Newton’s laws of motion

A Look at the Types of Frame of Reference

In physics, quantities such as velocity and displacement change based on the observer’s point of view or the frame of reference from which the values are observed. Any point in space can be represented in the form of its cartesian coordinates like (x,y,z), where x is the distance of that point from the x-axis on […]

A Guide to Understanding Definition of Vector Quantities

In Physics, force, velocity, speed, and work are usually classified as scalar or vector quantities. Scalar quantities only have magnitude but no direction. Vectors consist of both magnitude and direction. A quantity that depends on the magnitude and direction like force, displacement, momentum, velocity, and acceleration is known as the vector quantity. It is denoted

A Detailed Understanding of Uniformly Accelerated Motion

When a body moves in a plane or in 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,

A Brief Note on Motion in a Straight Line

When the position of an object is changed with respect to time, it is called motion. When a particle moves along a straight line, motion is called motion in a straight line. It is also defined as 1D motion. Motion Motion is defined as the change in the position of an object when compared to

A brief note on momentum conservation & centre of mass action

We all have seen momentum in our everyday life. A person walking on the street has a specific momentum- an electric motor rotating at a fast speed has a defined momentum. Each object or body which is in motion has a defined momentum. When we say, momentum is conserved it means that the momentum always
