The Inclined Plane - A heavy load may be raised more easily by pulling it up along a sloping surface than by lifting it vertically. For example, heavy barrels are often loaded into vans by passing two ropes round them and hauling them up an incline formed by two stout ..

A heavy load may be raised more easily by pulling it up along a sloping surface than by lifting it vertically. For example, heavy barrels are often loaded into vans by passing two ropes round them and hauling them up an incline formed by two stout planks held apart by iron rod..

Consider the body to be sliding down the plane. You must take all force components along and perpendicular to the surface of the block. Balancing components along the perpendicular of the inclined plane Balancing components along the surface of the inclin..

Formation of Image by a Plane Mirror - Ray Diagrams - The following rays are usually considered while constructing ray diagrams: A ray of light incident on a plane mirror at 90 degree gets reflected from the mirror along the same path. A ray of light falling on a plane..

In all the above examples, a machine either multiplies or reduces the effect of the force that is applied. A bicycle is a machine which is used to gain speed. We gain speed by exerting additional force. When we try to ride a bicycle up a steep hill, we soon realize that we gain speed by applying gr..

Let MM and MM' be two plane mirrors inclined at an angle 120 o and O be the object placed in between these mirrors. In this case there will be only two images viz., O 1 and O 2..

Galileo Galilee (1564-1642), a great Italian scientist raised a number of questions about the action of forces on a body with respect to the motion of the body. He performed various experiments and answered those questions by studying the results of his experiments. Aristotle, a Greek philosop..

Galileo's Observation and Origin of Newtonian Mechanics - Aristotle and other medieval thinkers believed that the natural state of bodies is the state of rest. Galileo opposed this concept. Galileo observed that, when a ball was made to roll down an inclined plane, its speed inc..

If the velocity of an object increases then the object is said to be moving with positive acceleration...
