Mechanics

This chapter covers topics like scalars and vectors, as well as differentiation.

This chapter covers topics like scope of physics and its application in everyday life, basic forces in nature, nature of physical laws, measurement, systems of units, accuracy and precision of instruments, and errors in measurement.

This chapter describes the motion of an object in a straight line. It explains the terms such as position, path length and displacement of an object. We also learn about speed, velocity and acceleration, kinematic equations and relative velocity.

This chapter discusses the concept of scalars and vectors along with vector addition, subtraction, multiplication and resolution. It will also throw light on motion in a plane, relative velocity in 2D and projectile motion.

In this chapter, we will learn the laws of motion. It illustrates the force along with its various types. It discusses Newton’s laws of motion. We will also learn about the concept of momentum.

This chapter highlights the work done by constant and variable forces. We will learn about conservative and non-conservative forces. It briefs on power, energy, and its various forms. A brief note on collisions and its types is given here.

This chapter covers topics like equations of rotational motion, centre of mass, moment of inertia, angular momentum and conservation of angular momentum, theorems of perpendicular and parallel axis, work, energy and power in rotational motion, etc.

In this chapter, we will learn about the gravitational force and its units in detail. It discusses the concept of free fall, along with the equation of motion of objects. It also describes the differences between mass and weight.
