When an object moves while rotating along a circular path, it is said to be in circular motion. Circular motion is further divided into two categories: uniform and non-uniform circular motion. In our previous post, we explored uniform circular motion. Now, let’s turn our attention to non-uniform circular motion. This occurs when an object moves along …
A frame of reference is essentially a set of coordinate axes used to define an object’s position in two- or three-dimensional space. It can also be defined as a set of coordinates used to record the position and time of events. There are two types of frames of reference: inertial frame of reference and non-inertial frame of …

To describe the motion of an object, we need a frame of reference. A frame of reference is essentially a set of coordinate axes used to define an object’s position in two- or three-dimensional space. It can also be defined as a set of coordinates used to record the position and time of events. The …
Stable equilibrium is a condition where an object, once slightly displaced from its original position, tends to return to that position on its own. In other words, if you give the object a gentle push or move it a little, it will naturally come back to where it started. Think of it as a “return …
Lenz’s Law is a fundamental law of electromagnetism that describes the direction of an induced electric current in a conductor when the magnetic field around it changes. It states that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in the magnetic field that produced it. Lenz’s Law has important applications …
Ever wondered what concept scientists use in the design of engines, turbines, and other rotating machinery, as well as in the study of celestial mechanics, such as the motion of planets and stars? Anyone interested in the mechanics of rotating objects must understand angular velocity. By learning about the properties and characteristics of angular momentum, …
How did the universe come into being? What is its age? What is it made of? How does it work? What is the fate of the universe? These are questions each one of us has asked at some point in life. Interestingly, scientists have joined together to satisfy our curiosity regarding the world around us. …
Concentration gradient is a term commonly used in biology and physical chemistry to describe the difference in concentration of a solute between two regions. This difference can occur in cells, tissues, organs, or even solutions outside the body. Concentration Gradient Principle The concentration gradient is based on the principle of diffusion. Diffusion is the natural …
Scientifically speaking, a fluid is a substance capable of flowing and deforms when exposed to significant force, taking shape with its surroundings. Fluid molecules are sparsely populated particles in constant random motion as they collide with surrounding surfaces and each other. In contrast, solid molecules are laid in regular patterns and are tightly packed, leaving …
