Kinematics: Understanding Uniform Motion

Kinematics: Understanding Uniform Motion What is Kinematics  Kinematics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects without considering the causes of motion. Among the various types of motion, uniform motion is a fundamental concept that provides a foundation for understanding more complex movements. In this article, we will delve into the […]

Additional velocity

A spaceship is launched into a circular orbit close to the earth’s surface. What additional velocity has now to be imparted to the spaceship in the orbit to overcome the gravitational pull.

Additional Velocity Required to Overcome Earth’s Gravitational Pull for Satellite Escape Escape velocity is the minimum velocity an object must attain to break free from the gravitational attraction of a massive body without further propulsion. For an object on the surface of the Earth, this velocity is approximately 11.2 kilometers per second (or about 25,000

Moment of Inertia of Rod having non-uniform, linearly increasing mass density

Moment of Inertia of a Rod having non-uniform, linearly increasing mass density

Moment of Inertia of Rod having non-uniform, linearly increasing mass density Moment of Inertia Moment of inertia is of great importance when we come to discuss the rotational dynamics. The the word “inertia” refers to resistance against any change in state of object (mass). Specifically, the moment of inertia is measure of a body’s resistance

Rolling of a solid disc on horizontal and its K.E. energies Mechanics 10 Important Problems for IIT-JEE and NEET

A solid disc is rolling without slipping on a horizontal ground as shown in figure. Its total kinetic energy is 150 J . What are its translational and rotational kinetic energies respectively?

Rolling of a solid disc on horizontal Rolling , specifically a pure rolling is a classic example of combined translational and rotational motion. While talking about the rolling of a  solid disc over horizontal ground, actually we are discussing a simple case of rolling. Pure rolling refers rolling without slipping. Thus, there is no presence
