Applications of Pascal law
Pascal law states Pressure applied at any point of a liquid enclosed in a container is transmitted without loss to all other parts of the liquid. Hydraulic press, Hydraulic jack system, and brake system are a few applications of Pascal…

Kinematic Equations in Physics List
Kinematics is the branch of mechanics dealing with the motion of bodies without reference to mass or force. There are three kinematic equations in Physics for bodies moving with uniform acceleration. These equations relate initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, time,…

Newton’s three laws of motion with examples and applications
Newton’s three laws of motion are the 3 physical laws, these laws of motion laid the foundation for classical mechanics. These laws explain the relation between forces and the body on which these forces acted upon. Newton’s first law of…

Scientific notation and significant figures
Scientific notation and significant figures are two important terms in physics. In scientific notation, numbers are expressed by some power of ten multiplied by a number between 1 and 10, while significant figures are accurately known digits and the first…

How many Types of Errors in Physics?
Error is the difference between the actual value and the calculated value of any physical quantity. Basically, there are three types of errors in physics, random errors, blunders, and systematic errors. Sources of errors in physics All measurements of physical…

Difference Between Speed and Velocity with Examples
Speed and velocity are terms in motion. These are two different physical quantities. Speed is the distance covered by a body in unit time. It is a scalar quantity. While velocity is the displacement covered by a body in…

Difference between stable unstable and neutral equilibrium with examples
There are three types and states of equilibrium in physics. Stable equilibrium Unstable equilibrium Neutral equilibrium Stable equilibrium “A body is said to be in stable equilibrium if after a slight tilt it returns to its previous position.” Consider a…

Centripetal acceleration Examples
The acceleration that controls the change in direction of motion in rotating or curving bodies is known as the centripetal acceleration or normal acceleration. Since it constantly faces the center of rotation, it is known as centripetal. The concept of…

Types of Prism
What is Prism? The word prism is derived from the Latin word ” prism “, which has Greek roots and literally means ” anything sawn.” A prism is a geometric form made up of two identical flat polygons. Bases are…
