Understanding Angular and Linear Velocity Imagine you are spinning a wheel. The speed at which the wheel turns is called angular velocity. It tells us how fast something is turning around a fixed point. For example, if a fan is spinning, its blades are moving in a circle. Angular velocity helps us know how quickly … Read more
What is Circular Motion? Circular motion means moving around in a circle. When something goes round and round on the same path, we call it circular motion. Think about the hands of a clock, a fan spinning on the ceiling, or the wheel of a bicycle. They all move in a circle. That’s circular motion! … Read more
INTRODUCTION When we look at the many different things we measure in science—like speed, temperature, or weight—it may seem like we need a different unit for each one. But if we try to make a unique unit for every single thing, remembering all those units would become very confusing and nearly impossible. Luckily, many of … Read more
Introduction Friction is a force that tries to stop things from sliding or moving when they touch each other. It always works in the opposite direction of the push or pull that’s trying to move something. So, if you try to slide a box forward, friction pushes back. It only happens when two surfaces touch, … Read more
