Description of  Circular Motion (Concepts and Problems in Physics)

This text book is primarily intended for students who are preparing for the entrance tests of IIT-JEE/NEET/AIIMS and other esteemed colleges in same fields. This text is equally useful to the students preparing for their school exams.Our main goals in writing this text book are to present the basic concepts and principles of physics that students need to know for their competitive exams. to provide a balance of quantitative reasoning and conceptual understanding, with special attention to concepts that have been causing difficulties to student in understanding the concepts. to develop students' problem-solving skills and confidence in a systematic manner. to motivate students by integrating real-world examples that build upon their everyday experiences.Main Features of the Book-1. Every concept is up to the mark and it is given in student friendly language with various solved problems. The solution is provided with problem solving approach and discussion.2. Checkpoint questions have been added to applicable sections of the text to allow students to pause and test their understanding of the concept explored within the current section. The answers and solutions to the Checkpoints are given in answer keys, at the end of the chapter, so that students can confirm their knowledge without jumping too quickly to the provided answer.3. Special attention is given to all tricky topics (like- centripetal and tangential acceleration, uniform circular motion vs. projectile motion, relative angular velocity, centripetal and centrifugal force, unbanked and banked curves, motion in a vertical circle, Coriolis force (optional), effect of rotation of earth on apparent weight and the physics of artificial gravity), so that student can easily solve them with fun.4. To test the understanding level of students, multiple choice questions, conceptual questions, practice problems with previous years JEE Main and Advanced problems are provided at the end of the whole discussion. Number of dots indicates level of problem difficulty. Straightforward problems (basic level) are indicated by single dot (), intermediate problems (JEE mains and NEET level) are indicated by double dots (), whereas challenging problems (advanced level) are indicated by thee dots (). Answer keys with hints and solutions are provided at the end of the chapter.
