HA’YHWH🛐 YESHUA🛐 HAMASCHIAC🛐 School First Term, SS2 Physics. Lesson 2. The Vectors in Physics and Types.

Length: 10 minutesAuthor: ChinweComplexity: Easy

    Vectors in Physics|Types In physics, Vector quantities are that quantities which have a magnitude and a direction. If we take force as an example, we can show it in terms of the magnitude of the force and the direction of the force. Such quantities in physics are called vector quantities. When we take temperature as an example, ….  Read More

Length: 10 minutesAuthor: ChinweComplexity: Easy

      Speed, Velocity And Acceleration: Concepts & Differences To the layman, speed, velocity and acceleration may just sound like different ways to describe how fast you are going, but they actually mean very different things. The distinction between each term is essential to the study of kinematics – the study of how objects ….  Read More

HA’YHWH🛐 YESHUA🛐 HAMASCHIAC🛐 School First Term, SS2 Physics. Lesson 4. Equation of Uniformly Accelerated Motion.

Length: 10 minutesAuthor: ChinweComplexity: Easy

Equations of Uniformly Accelerated Motion   Suppose you are driving a vehicle on a road. The velocity of the vehicle is never uniform. Its velocity increases and decreases randomly. As you move the velocity of the vehicle on the road keeps on changing and this is said to be accelerated motion. Let us study the different ….  Read More
