Rest and Motion

An object is said to be in motion with respect to a frame of reference s1, when its location is changing with time in same frame of reference s1.
Rest and motion are relative terms.
Absolute rest and absolute motion have no meaning.

 Motion is broadly classified into 3 categories :
1. Rectilinear and translatory motion.
2. Circular and rotatory motion.
3. Oscillatory and vibratory motion.
     Rectilinear or 1-D Motion When a particle is moving along a straight line, then its motion is a rectilinear motion.
Parameters of rectilinear motion or translatory motion or plane motion:

 Time
   It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is second(s).
At a particular instant of time, a physical object can be present at one location only.
Time can never decrease.
  Position or location It is defined with respect to some reference point (origin) of given frame of reference.
   Consider a particle which moves from location r1 (at time t1) to location r2 (at time t2) as shown in the figure below.

 The length of the actual path traversed by the particle is termed as its distance.
  Distance = length of path ACB.
Its SI unit is meter and it is a scalar quantity.
It can never decrease with time.

IIT-JEE Physics books by D.C. Pandey

List of all IIT-JEE Physics books by DC Pandey, Arihant Publications. Understanding Physics for JEE Main and Advanced Mechanics - Part 1 IIT JEE is just too hard to crack”, is a prevalent delusion amongst the aspirants. Facing a competition from about 15 lac aspirants is definitely not easy but believable through carefully tested strategies, different time management and realistic expectations. Understanding Physics series by DC Pandey, explains all phenomena’s through, reasons from principles, rather than by analogy and usually that reason is Physics. Mechanics Volume 1, first of the five best sellers on Physics for JEE Main and Advanced covers the most significant parts of the syllabus by marks in an effective and understandable way. Without deviating to superficialities the book examines fundamental concepts of Mechanics in 10 chapters. In each chapter, exposition of the subject matter is kept simple but effective to strategically strengthen concepts as well as their
