The classification of matter into three different states, namely solid, liquid and gaseous state is termed as the physical classification of matter. Most properties of solid, liquid and gases that can be observed with our sense organs are called as 'macroscopic' p..

Question: Define the following types of inertia by giving suitable examples. a) Inertia of rest b) Inertia of motion c) Inertia of direction Answer: Inertia of rest is the property of matter by virtue of which it opposes any change in its state of rest Example: The..

In 1819, two French physicists Dulong and Petit discovered that the average molar specific heat at constant pressure for all metals, except the very light ones, is approximately the same and equal to nearly 25 J mole -1 o C -1 . Although the law is an approximate one, it conveys a very important id..
