Motion in a Plane - Important Formulas, Definitions, and Examples | 11th Physics
Chapter 4: Motion in a Plane Chapter 4: Motion in a Plane formulas Physics, Formulas, Kinematics, Vectors, Scalars, Motion in Two Dimensions, Definitions Introduction Motion in a plane involves the study of objects that move in two dimensions, such as projectile motion and circular motion. This chapter explores vector quantities, their components, and their application in understanding motion in a plane. 1. Scalars and Vectors Definition: Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Examples of Scalars: mass, time, speed, distance Examples of Vectors: velocity, displacement, acceleration, force 2. Vector Addition Definition: Vector addition is the process of combining vectors using methods such as the triangle law or the parallelogram law. Triangle Law of Vector Addition: If two vectors are represented by the two sides of
