Speed can be defined as the distance covered by a moving object in unit tim..

In an athletic meet different participants start running at the same time and cover the same distance. The person who takes the minimum time to cover the distance will be judged as the winner. Suppose Ram and Krishna take 20 minutes and 10 minutes respectively to cover a distance of 1000 m, who is ..

Ram and Krishna run in different races covering different distances. Ram takes 20 minutes to cover 1000 m and Krishna takes 10 minutes to cover 700 m. Who is faster? To find out who is faster we shall calculate the distance covered by them in one minute. Krishna covered more distance in unit..

The previous example does hold good only if we ignore the friction or resistance offered by the surface. The distance covered varies with time. For example, a rubber ball dropped from a height, on reaching the ground bounces off to a height less than the initial height and slowly the height decreas..

The unit in which atomic and nuclear masses are measured is called atomic mass unit (a.m.u). 1 a.m.u is defined as 1/12 t h of the mass of an atom of 6 C 1 2 isotope. It can be shown that 1 a.m.u = 1.66 x 10 2 7 kg. According to Einstein, mass energy equivalence E = mc 2 Where m..

It is often necessary to convert one set of units to another. This can be done in a systematic way by the method called dimensional analysis or the conversion factor method. Conversion factor is equal to the ratio of the magnitudes of the same quantity in the two ..

Velocity is defined as the distance covered by a moving object in a particular direction in unit time or speed in a particular directio..

Albert Einstein, in the beginning of this century, showed that matter (whatever the form) was equivalent to energy. The energy associated with a mass 'm' (just because of its existence) is given by the famous formula of Einstein, E = mc 2 ------------ (1). where 'c' is the speed of ligh..
