Linear motion, circular motion and vibrational motion

Linear motion Linear motion, also called uniform motion or rectilinear motion, motion in one spatial dimension.  According to Newton’s first law (also known as the principle of inertia), a body with no net force acting on it will either remain at rest or continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line, according to … Read more

Motion, laws of motion

Motion Motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. The branch of physics which deals with the study of motion of material objects is called mechanics. Mechanics is divided into following branches. (i) Statics : Statics … Read more

Coriolis Force – Factors Affecting Wind Movement

The Coriolis Force: A Silent Conductor of Wind Movement The wind, a seemingly chaotic force that whips across the globe, is actually governed by a complex interplay of factors. One of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, influences is the Coriolis force. This force, arising from the Earth’s rotation, subtly steers winds, shaping weather patterns … Read more
