Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Kinematics from Tamil Nadu Board Physics Standard 11 Vol I Solutions
1. Average speed:
It is the ratio of the total distance to the total time.
2. Average Velocity:
It is the ratio of the total displacement to the total time.
3. Instantaneous Velocity:
(i) It is the rate of displacement with respect to time
(ii) Mathematically expressed as,
4. Average acceleration:
It is the ratio of total change in velocity to the total time taken.
5. Instantaneous Acceleration:
(i) It is the rate of change of velocity
(ii) Mathematically, it is expressed as,
6. Motion from a graph:
(i) Slope of distance-time graph gives speed
(ii) Slope of displacement-time graph gives velocity
(iii) Slope of velocity-time graph gives acceleration
(iv) Area under velocity-time graph gives displacement
(v) Area under speed-time graph gives distance
(vi) Area under acceleration time gives change in velocity.
7. Equations of Motion (for constant acceleration):
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
8. Relative motion:
(i) (velocity of with respect to )
(ii) (acceleration of with respect to )
9. Projectile motion:
(i) Time of flight
(ii) Horizontal range
(iii) Maximum height
(iv) Trajectory equation (equation of path):
(v) Velocity after time ,
10. Relative motion:
(i) (velocity of with respect to )
(ii) (acceleration of with respect to )
11. Crossing river:
(i) A man in a river always moves in the direction of resultant of velocity of man and velocity of river.
(ii) Velocity with which man moves along the river
(iii) Velocity with which man moves perpendicular to the river
(iv) Time take to cross the river,
(v) To get minimum time
(vi) Drift in this case,
(vii) For shortest path, drift must be zero in this case, and it happens when
