motion of objects only

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..

Equations of Motion for a Body Moving under Gravity - The motion of a body under gravity is a uniformly accelerated motion and hence all the equations of motion for uniformly accelerated motion along a straight line is applicable to the motionh..

In translatory motion the particle moves from one point in space to another. This motion may be along a straight line or along a curved path. Motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion. Motion along a curved path is called curvilinea..

Example: A car negotiating a curve..

Motion and Rest - Imagine you are travelling in a moving train. Do you observe any change in your position with respect to your co-passengers? Is there any change of scene you view through the window? The change of scene indicates that the train is moving. That is, an object is ..
