– Introduction to Kepler's laws, the universal law of gravitation, the gravitational constant, acceleration due to gravity of the earth, gravitational potential energy, escape speed, and earth satellites.
What is the significance of significant figures in physics?
Significant figures help in conveying the precision of a measurement or value by indicating the number of reliable digits in it.
Explain the concept of dimensional analysis and provide an example of its application.
Dimensional analysis is a technique that checks the correctness of equations by verifying if the dimensions of quantities on both sides match. For example, in the equation relating distance, time, and speed, the dimensions of distance should be equal to speed multiplied by time.
What are the three laws of motion formulated by Newton?
Newton's laws of motion include the law of inertia (First Law), the relationship between force and acceleration (Second Law), and the action-reaction principle (Third Law).
Define the concept of work in physics and its relation to kinetic energy.
Work in physics is the transfer of energy that results from a force acting through a distance. It is related to kinetic energy through the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
What is meant by the conservation of mechanical energy?
The conservation of mechanical energy states that in the absence of non-conservative forces like friction, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) of a system remains constant.
