PhysicsPrinciple of Impulse and Momentum By Newton’s second law of motion, the force acting on a body = m a, where m = mass of the body and a =…
PhysicsDefine Impulsive Force and Impulse of a Force (i) Impulsive Force An impulsive force is a very great force acting for a very short time on a body, so that the change in…
PhysicsDescribe Momentum of Body Momentum of Body is observed experimentally that the force required to stop a moving object depends on two factors: (i) mass of the body and (ii)…
PhysicsMotion of Projectile Projected at an Angle with Horizontal Consider a body projected from a point O on the surface of the Earth with an initial velocity u at an angle 8 with the…
PhysicsExplain Motion of Projectile thrown Horizontally Let consider an object thrown horizontally with a velocity u from a point A. which is at a height h from the horizontal plane OX…
PhysicsWhat is Projectile Motion A body thrown with some initial velocity and then allowed to move under the action of gravity alone, is known as a projectile. If we…
PhysicsExplain Disadvantages of Friction Though friction has many disadvantages it is considered as a necessary evil. What causes it? We cannot do anything without the force of friction. If…
PhysicsDescribe Increasing and Decreasing Friction Friction is inextricably related to our daily lives. Friction can be increased in necessity; again friction can be decreased too in necessity. How friction can…
PhysicsExplain Effects of Friction on Motion Friction has an enormous influence on the motion of an object. Friction is a kind of resistive force which slows down the motion of a…
PhysicsExplain Types of Friction Generally there are four types of friction. Static friction Sliding friction Rolling friction Fluid friction Static: Static friction is the friction between two surfaces that…
