6 Comments / General, Tips and tricks / physicscatalyst

1) Find a good study spot .A place with a lot of distractions makes for a poor study area.A quiet place with no distraction would be good study place.

2) Take good Notes. Read through your materials slowly and write down key points. Write down any questions you have about the materials that you can later discuss with your classmates or course instructor.Quiz yourself on the material you have just read. If you struggle with certain questions, make not of these areas for additional study.Summarize the Main Points .Once you have studied the material, see if you can answer these questions: Can you identify the main concepts covere

Acceleration in a curvilinear motion

1 Comment / Physics, Tips and tricks / physicscatalyst

The acceleration vector has the same direction as instantanous change in velocity. Since the direction of the velocity changes in the direction in which the curve bends ,the acceleration is always pointing towards concavity of the curve
The acceleration in curvilinear motion can also be expressed in terms of two components

How to solve electric force and field problems

1 Comment / General, Physics, Tips and tricks / physicscatalyst

This post is all about how you can easily solve electric force and electric field problems. At a glance problems of physics can seem to be scary and overwhelming for some students but do not worry all you need to do is your willingness to solve problem. So first of all you need to read your problem carefully and then start using following protocol to solve your problems. The procedure I am going to write is for calculating electric forces but you can use the same procedure to calculate an electric field by simply replacing the charge of interest, q, with a convenient test charge and dividing by the test charge at the end. So, to calculate the force,
