Introduction If the position of any object changes relative to the time it is said to be in motion. The motion of any object happens in three ways like one-dimensional motion, two-dimensional motion, and three-dimensional motion. The movement of a train on a straight track, and the circular motion of the top are some examples of motion. This motion of particles is best described by the law of mechanics. Three laws were proposed for the understanding of the movement of an object. When there is a motion then there will be a displacement. What is motion? If the particle moves ... Read More

Introduction When we are moving from one position to another position, then we are said to be in motion. Motion is nothing but just a movement. Every moving object's changes their position with time. Now, it is also well known that motion is of two types, Uniform and Non-uniform. Uniform motion is constant and there is no change. However, Non- uniform motion is an example of changes in motion. Now, we will learn how an object changes their position with time. What do you mean by the rate of change of motion? We know that every type of motion ... Read More

Introduction The physical quantities which contain both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities like Displacement, Velocity, and so forth. The physical quantity which contains only magnitude is called a scalar quantity. For example, distance, speed, etc. angular speed is a scalar quantity. Measurement is the comparison of an unknown quantity with a known value. Measurement is a system of measuring. Measurement is always a numerical value. Measurements include length, mass, volume, temperature, etc. It is associated with geometry, trigonometry, algebra, etc. Units were given to the measured values. Fundamental units for length, mass, and time are m, kg, and ... Read More

Introduction Acceleration is the wrathful of all motion variables as compared to displacement and velocity. You can feel yourself accelerating in scenarios like sitting in a plane during take-off, slamming on the brakes in a car, or speeding around a corner in a go-kart. Any procedure where the velocity varies is referred to as acceleration. There are only two ways to accelerate: changing your speed or changing your direction or changing both. This is because velocity has both a speed and a direction. What is Constant Acceleration? The change in velocity over time is referred to as acceleration. ... Read More

Introduction Average Speed and Average Velocity are two important concepts of kinematics. The ratio between distance cover by an object and time taken to cover is called Speed. Velocity is the ratio of displacement of an object and time taken. Speed is a scalar quantity. Velocity is a vector quantity. Magnitude and direction should be known to define velocity as a vector quantity. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is the speed with direction. For example, a bike travels at 50km\h shows its speed. A bike travels at 50km\h in the east represents its ... Read More

Introduction The product of a body's mass and its squared distance from its axis of rotation determines its moment of inertia. Using the center of mass (COM) as an example, the moment of inertia is a concept developed from the concept of COM. A centre of mass represents the imaginary point in a body where all the mass of the body is concentrated. When a body is inertial, it is incapable of changing its position or uniformity of motion on its own. Because it takes more energy to change the state of an object with a higher mass, it ...

Introduction Most students make mistakes when they study or talk about Kinetics and kinematics. Substantially, we note that pupils consider both terms the same because of homo pronunciation but it is wrong. Kinetics and kinematics are different and used for different purposes. In simple words, Kinetics can be defined as the branch of physics that deals with the motion of an object. Whereas, Kinematics is another system that deals with the magnitude of Speed, acceleration, etc. Both of these are branches of physics. What is Kinetics? Kinetics is another name for Dynamics which is a branch of Physics. This ... Read More

Introduction There relation of torque with the speed of an object is an important part of physics as it is integrally connected to the motion and rotating capability. The relation between these two components is integrally and very much connected to the power of the object. The value of torque is often extracted by “Power/ Speed.” This statement is the most basic and necessary information to know about the relation between speed and torque. What is Torque? Torque is a significant product of the radius of rotation and force. As a result, in the case of an increasing radius, the ... Read More

Introduction The multitudes of motions that are found in nature are associated with the simple functionality of change eventuating in the position of a certain product or object. It so happens that as the object continues to alter its initial position with respect to time the object is said to be in motion otherwise the object is concluded to be in a state of rest. In context to the case of motion, the aspect f measurement differs from one type of motion to the other. In terms of measuring the state of the motion the objects in consideration are quantified ...

Introduction The similarity of speed and velocity of an object is the movement and the displacement from the previous position within a particular time. The SI unit of both particles is m/s which is a meter per second. Speed and velocity both are dependent on the distance covered, total time taken and direction of movement. The difference is also seen in the unit of measurement of these two aspects. The measuring unit of speed and velocity is meter/second. What is speed? Figure 1: Speed and velocity Speed refers to the total distance covered by an ... Read More
