linear motion problems

Comparison of Linear and Rotational Motion - When a rigid body such as a merry-go-round rotates around an axis, each particle in the body moves in its own circle around that axis. Since the body is rigid, all particles make one revolution in the same amount of time. i.e., they a..

When a rigid body such as a merry-go-round rotates around an axis, each particle in the body moves in its own circle around that axis. Since the body is rigid, all particles make one revolution in the same amount of time. i.e., they all have the same angular speed w..

As the initial velocity, final velocity, distance travelled, acceleration and time are related and are expressed as equations of motion in linear motion; one can derive equations for rotational motion also. If w 0 is the initial angular velocity of a rotating..

It is also known as rectilinear or linear motion. A particle moving along a straight line is said to undergo one dimensional motion. In such a case, only one of the three rectangular coordinates changes with time. For example, if we consider one dimensional motio..

In the physical world, one of the most common phenomena is motion. The branch of Physics, which deals with the behaviour of moving objects, is known as mechanics. Mechanics is further divided into two sections namely Kinematics and Dynamics. Kinematics deals with the study of m..
