Instantaneous velocity Formula
What is Instantaneous velocity? “If a body covers small displacement in a small interval of time then its velocity will be instantaneous velocity such that Δt is equal to zero.”Where Δt is the small interval of time. Average velocity does…

Bernoulli equation derivation with examples and applications
Bernoulli equation is defined as the sum of pressure, the kinetic energy and potential energy per unit volume in a steady flow of an incompressible and nonviscous fluid remains constant at every point of its path.”Atomizer and ping pong ball…

What is the difference between average and instantaneous power?
The rate of doing work is called power. The basic difference between average and instantaneous power is that average power is the ratio of total work and total time. While instantaneous power is the limiting value of average power. From…

Relation between escape velocity and orbital velocity formula
The Basic Difference between Escape velocity and orbital velocity is: The velocity required by a body to escape from the earth’s gravitational field is called escape velocity. Its value is 11 km/s. Orbital velocity is the velocity required for the…

Mechanical work: Examples and Applications
In physics, it is called mechanical work that develops a force on an object and may affect its position or its amount of movement. In other words, mechanical work is the amount of energy necessary to set an object in motion, vary…

What are Some Examples of Centripetal and Centrifugal Force?
Centripetal force is the force that keeps a body in a circle. It is also called center seeking force. While A force that keeps a body away from the center of the circle is called centrifugal force. Banking of the…

Examples of Nuclear Energy
What is Nuclear Energy? It is one that is generated by a process in which the atoms of a material called uranium disintegrate. The energy that uranium releases when its atoms decay produces heat that boils the water found in nuclear…

Difference between mass and weight in tabular form
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity by which the earth attracts towards it. Mass is the scalar quantity and weight is a vector quantity. The unit of mass is kg…
