Introduction Do you ever realize that it is really difficult to catch a fast moving ball rather than a slow moving ball? Do you ever think that a fast moving car can cause more damage when met with an accident rather than slow moving car? This is all because a physical quantity is involved in both cases i.e. momentum. Momentum of an object is the product of mass and velocity of that object. Momentum is a vector quantity and its direction will be along the direction of velocity of the body. So in the case of a fast moving ... Read More

Introduction Praveen and Shubham are good friends. Praveen purchased a bike and went for a ride with Shubham. They went to the petrol pump and asked the vendor to fill 10 liters of petrol in his bike. The vendor started filling, meanwhile Shubham asked Praveen, “how do you know that we will get the same amount of petrol in our bike tank?” Then Praveen replied, “Do you know about the equation of continuity? Shubham said no, can you explain this?” Then Praveen said that the Continuity equation tells us that the law of conservation of mass in fluid. It means ... Read More

Introduction A particle's linear momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. A particle's conservation of momentum is a property that any particle has in which the total amount of momentum never changes. Linear momentum of a particle is a vector quantity denoted by $\mathrm{\vec{p}}$ Conservation of Linear Momentum If the net external force acting on a system of bodies is zero, then the momentum of the system remains constant. It is important to remember that the momentum of the system, not the individual particles, is conserved. The momentum of the individual bodies in the system may ... Read More

Introduction The speed-time graphs are commonly used while showcasing the basic difference between time and velocity in real-time. Whenever speed is constant with zero acceleration, a speed-time graph is drawn in order to outline the difference between speed and velocity there. Under different circumstances, where speed and velocity are present, the speed-time graphs intervene to help in understanding the difference between those two in real-time. Definition of Speed-Time Graphs The speed-time graphs are extremely useful graphs used in determining an object's movement at a certain point in time. It allows people to see, at what speed an object is moving ... Read More

Introduction In the case of the position of the particles that change with respect to time duration as well as the surrounding environment then the body of the particles is referred to be in motion. From the mathematical perspective, the motion of the can be described with the mode of displacement that the velocity and the acceleration in a specific frame. The displacement and the velocity of the acceleration are strictly restricted to a single direction. What is the Rectilinear Motion of particles? Motion is a significant phenomenon in our daily lives that is mainly circulated into different electronic devices. ... Read More

Introduction Any kinds of movements or changes that are noticed with respect to the time and position of a body in motion. However, motion or movement can take place on a straight line or it may be within a circular pathway. The motion is known as a translation if the body is said to be moving in a straight or a curved line. On the other hand, the motion that changes the body orientation is known as rotational movements. It is noted that both these two types of motions are noticed in general kinds of examples such as bouncing balls, ... Read More
