Laws of Motion

Friction The force exerted by two surfaces sliding (or attempting to glide) across one another is known as friction. For instance, friction makes it more difficult to push a book across the floor. Whenever an object moves or attempts to move, the friction acts in the opposite direction. Friction always tries to slow down a […]

Friction is the resisting force that opposes the movement of one object or layer over a surface. The frictional force acts on a surface that is in contact with another surface, and it impedes the motion of the objects. This implies that friction is an opposing force that resists the motion of the object. It

Objects and systems move due to the application of forces. First, let us define what is the concept of force. To begin with, let us define force intuitively as a push or a pull. Generally speaking, the magnitude and direction of a push or pull, which are both vector quantities, can vary significantly in each

A force is defined as the pushing or pulling of an object. The object’s interactions with one another cause the objects to push and pull against one another. In physics, force is defined as an external agent that has the ability to change the state of rest or motion of a particular body. Both the

A force is defined as the pushing or pulling of an object. The object’s interactions with one another cause the objects to push and pull against one another. In physics, force is defined as an external agent that has the ability to change the state of rest or motion of a particular body. Both the

Fluid friction is the force that prevents a liquid from moving either within itself or through another medium. Internal friction happens as a result of the movement of the molecules within the fluid, while exterior conflict arises as a result of how the fluid interacts with other matter. It refers to the friction that occurs

Friction is a force that resists rolling or sliding motion of objects over one another/or a surface: for example, developed traction due to friction that helps us to walk without slipping. However, automobiles use around 20 per cent of the engine power to overcome frictional forces between the moving parts.  The main reason behind the

According to the first law of motion, a physical object stays at the same velocity (zero in the state of rest) unless an external force acts on it. It is also known as the law of inertia since the property of the physical object that resists any change in its velocity is called inertia. If

A collision occurs when a powerful force operates on two or more bodies for a brief period of time. A collision is a one-time occurrence. As a result of the collision, the energy and momentum of the interacting particles change. The collision can be caused by actual physical contact between the participating bodies, such as

Introduction Elasticity is the ability of a body to resist any permanent changes to it when Stress is applied. The body regains its original shape and size when stress application ceases. The concept is applied in several fields to understand the basic engineering behind the material and its properties. Elastic behaviour of solids The atoms
