Description

This course on Kinematics of Motion offers an in-depth and structured exploration of motion in one and two dimensions, with special emphasis on projectile motion and advanced applications frequently asked in competitive and school-level examinations. The course is designed to strengthen conceptual clarity while developing strong analytical and problem-solving skills.


A major portion of the course is dedicated to projectile motion, where you will study the geometry of motion through trajectory equations, zenith (maximum height), time of flight, and horizontal range. Special problem types such as same height and same range cases are explained with clear reasoning and shortcuts. You will also learn how motion changes with variation in the angle of projection, helping you compare different projectiles under identical conditions.

The course further covers important drop equations used in vertical motion and their applications in real-life scenarios. You will solve challenging aircraft-related problems, including bombing and supply-drop cases, using relative motion concepts. Classical problems like the book–table–ramp system are explained step by step to connect theory with physical intuition.

Advanced and exam-oriented topics such as the tank leaking problem, juggler problems, ball on steps motion, and motion during the last (m) seconds of a journey are treated in a clear and systematic manner. Each topic focuses on understanding the physics behind the equations rather than rote learning.


By the end of this course, students will be confident in tackling complex kinematics problems with accuracy, speed, and logical clarity—skills essential for success in physics examinations and beyond.
