A Numerical Problem from Projectile Motion

A short is fired from a gun on the top of a hill 90m high with velocity 80m/s at an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. Find the horizontal distance between the vertical line through the gun and the ponit where the shot strikes the ground? (Shilpa asked this question) Answer: Take Sy= -90m … Continue reading A Numerical Problem from Projectile Motion

Accelerated Motion and Gravity Equivalence

It seems a principal of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity that there is an equivalence between accelerated motion and being in a gravitational field.  It seems that an observer would have no way to tell the difference between these two states.  However, the gravitational force being mediated by elementary force carrying particles (gluons I think), [...]

Tested Physics Links to Learn the Laws of Motion online

Newton’s Laws of motion First Law: Every body continues to be in its state of rest or state of uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force complels it to do so. Second Law: The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the net external force acting on [...]

How to describe momentum physically ?

Kiran asks: “How do you describe momentum physically by not in definitions like product of mass and velocity?” Answer: Momentum is defined as “Mass in Motion” or “The quantity of motion“. Momentum is a measure of the “effect” a moving body can produce. It is a measure of the “effort” required to bring a body to [...]
