LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.A.1.1 - Express the motion of an object using narrative, mathematical, and graphical representations. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE INT 2.B -Explain how a net force in the centripetal direction can be a single force, more than one force, or even components of forces that are acting on an object moving in circular motion. So far, we have covered all the mathematics...

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.2.A - Describe the work done on an object or system by a given force or collection of forces. So far we have handled mechanics problems using force and Newton’s law. Now it’s time to switch to another method of analysing mechanics problems, namely the work and energy method. This method is often easier to use and can provide quick and neat solutions to mechanics problems if...

Hi, I am Gaurav. I am a passionate physics student and tutor. I help students study and prepare for exams such as AP Physics, NEET and IIT JEE. I appeared for IIT JEE exam way back in 1998 and during that time I fell in love with Physics. I managed to clear the exam and eventually worked in several countries in different roles but the love for Physics always continued and hence the journey of life long learning and teaching.
