Condition for Skidding When the centripetal force is greater than the frictional force, skidding occurs. If μ is the coefficient of friction between the road and tire. then…
Centrifugal Reaction According to Newton’s third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The equal and opposite reaction to the centripetal…
Examples of Centripetal Force Any force like gravitational force, frictional force, electric force. magnetic force etc. may act as a centripetal force. Some of the examples of centripetal force…
Explain Centripetal Force According to Newton’s first law of motion, a body possesses the property called directional inertia; the inability of the body to change its direction. This…
What is Angular Acceleration? If the angular velocity of the body performing rotatory motion is non-uniform, then the body is said to possess angular acceleration. The rate of change…
Relation between Linear Velocity and Angular Velocity Let consider a body P moving along the circumference of a circle of radius r with linear velocity v and angular velocity ω as shown…
Explain Angular Velocity The rate of change of angular displacement is called the angular velocity of the particle. Let dθ be the angular displacement made by the particle…
Explain Angular Displacement Let consider a particle of mass moving along the circular path of radius r as shown in Figure. Let the initial position of the particle…
Explain Uniform Circular Motion The revolution of the Earth around the Sun, rotating flywheel, electrons revolving around the nucleus, spinning top, the motion of a fan blade, revolution of…
Explain Conditions of Equilibrium of a Rigid Body Conditions of equilibrium of a rigid body acted upon by a system of concurrent forces in plane (here describe two conditions): (i) If an object…
