What is Motion in a Plane?

Motion in a plane is referred to as a motion in 2 dimensions, for example, circular motion, projectile motion, etc. For analyzing a 2 Dimensional motion the reference will be made of an origin with two coordinate axes i.e X and Y.

What is Scalar Quantities?

Scalar quantities are those physical qualities that can be specified completely by their magnitude alone. The examples of scalar quantities are mass, density, temperature, length, work, speed, etc.

What is Vector Quantities?

Vector quantities are specified by both magnitude and direction. The examples of vector quantities are displacement, acceleration, momentum, velocity, torque, force, etc. The direction of any vector quantity is specified by a unit vector. Vectors lying in the same or parallel to the same plane are called coplanar vectors.

Example of Motion in a Plane.

Projectile motion is one of the most common examples of motion in a plane. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, then the object is said to be in a uniform circular motion.
Time Period
The time period of a uniform circular motion is the time taken by an object to complete one complete revolution in its circular path. To maintain an object in its uniform circular motion a radially inward acceleration must be maintained continuously, it is called as centripetal acceleration.

Class 11th science chemistry (thermodynamics)

Thermodynamics deals with the change of energy in physical and chemical processes. It allows us to study these changes quantitatively as well as to make effective predictions. Therefore, we divide the universe as surrounding and system. Physical or chemical processes lead to progression or immersion of heat part of it may be converted to work. According to the first law of thermodynamics , these quantities are related as ∆U = q + w where q is heat and w is work. Change in internal energy is a state function and depends on only the initial and final states. On the other hand, w and q are not state functions. The change in temperature due to the transfer of heat one system to another system can be measured. Heat evolved or absorbed is expressed as q = C∆T. In case of expansion of gas, work is measured as w = –p ex ∆V Enthalpy Change Enthalpy change is defined as the change in energy of a system at constant pressure. It is denoted as ΔH. Enthalpy is a state function. Enthalpy ch...

Class 11th science chemistry (Redox reaction)

Redox reaction is the combination of both oxidation and reduction reactions. When redox reaction takes place, both oxidation and reduction reactions also occur simultaneously. What is a Redox Reaction? Redox is a term used for the oxidation-reduction reaction. Redox reaction is a chemical reaction where a change in the oxidation state of atoms occurs. It involves electron transfer i.e if one chemical species gains electrons, then another chemical species gives or loses electrons. The species from which the electron is lost is said to be oxidized whereas the species to which the electron is added is said to be reduced. Example zinc displaces copper in an aqueous solution called copper sulfate. Redox reactions can be classified into four different categories: Combination reaction Decomposition reaction Displacement reaction Disproportionation reaction Oxidizing And Reducing Agents The role of an oxidizing agent (Oxidant) in a chemical reaction is to gain electrons. ...
