motions of particles

Introduction - Physicists love to look at something complicated and find in it, something simple and familiar. Here is an example. If you flip a baseball bat into the air, its motion as it turns, is clearly more complicated than that of a non-spinning tossed ball, which moves like a ..

Motion of Particles and Rigid Body..

The particles present in matter are not stationary, but have a tendency to acquire motion. In fact they are in a state of continuous motion. The rate of movement of the particles is directly proportional to the thermal energy of the particles..

Upto the year 1924, electron was exclusively regarded as a particle. However, in 1924, de-Broglie suggested that an electron behaves both as a material particle and as a wave. Just like light, some experimental facts can be explained by assuming electrons as tiny particles..

is the weighted average of the position vectors of the particles of the system. It moves according to the equation of motion..

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. The motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion..

In rotatory motion, the particles of the body describe concentric circles about the axis of motion..
