Study Notes
- Lecture about formulas and concepts for the JEE and NEET physics exams for class 11
- Conceptual understanding and derivation is more important than Rote memorization
- The notes summarize formulas and provide context, not to solve questions
Units, Dimensions, and Errors
- Arguments of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions must be dimensionless in dimensional analysis
- Average value is the sum of measurements divided by the number of measurements
- Absolute error = |measurement - average value|
- Mean absolute error = average of all absolute errors
- Final measurement = mean ± mean absolute error
- Relative Error (Fractional Error) = Mean Absolute Error / Average value
- Percentage Error = Relative Error * 100
- For x = (a^A * b^B) / (c^C * d^D), the % error in x = A(% error in a) + B(% error in b) + C(% error in c) + D(% error in d)
- If x = a+b, absolute error in x = absolute error in a + absolute error in b
- If x = a-b, absolute error in x = absolute error in a + absolute error in b
- Least count of vernier calipers = smallest division on main scale - smallest division on vernier scale
- Total reading with calipers = main scale reading + vernier scale reading
- Corrected value = Total Reading - Zero Error; instruments showing readings when they should be zero have positive error.
Vectors
- |a + b| = √(a² + b² + 2ab cos θ), where θ is the angle between vectors a and b.
- |a - b| = √(a² + b² - 2ab cos θ)
- When |a| = |b| = x, then |a + b| = 2x cos(θ/2) and |a - b| = 2x sin(θ/2)
- Magnitude of a vector = √(x² + y² + z²)
- Scalar product: a ⋅ b = |a||b| cos θ
- Cross product magnitude: |a × b| = |a||b| sin θ
- Area of triangle with sides a and b: 1/2 * |a × b|
- Area of parallelogram with adjacent sides a and b: |a × b|
- Cross product components involves calculating the determinant of a matrix
Kinematics Part 1
- Average velocity: total displacement / total time
- Average speed: total distance / total time
- For equal time intervals, average speed is the arithmetic mean
- If a body travels equal lengths at different speeds, the average speed formula uses the harmonic mean
- Standard equations of motion: vf = vi + at, s = vi(t) + 0.5at², vf² = vi² + 2as
- General Acceleration Formula: a = dV/dt
- If V= f(x), then a = V(dV/dx)
- Displacement in nth second = u + a/2(2n - 1)
- For vertical launch with speed u, max height h = u² / (2g), time of flight T = 2u / g
Kinematics Part 2
- Projectile motion has a constant x-component of velocity and a changing y-component
- Time of flight = (2 * U * sin(theta)) / g
- Max height = (U^2 * sin^2(theta)) / (2g)
- Trajectory Equation: y = tan(theta) * x - (g * x^2) / (2 * U^2 * cos^2(theta))
- For projectile motion, 4 * hMax / Range = tan(theta)
- For projectile motion on an incline: Time of Flight = (2 * U * sin(alpha)) / (g * cos(theta)), Range = (2 * U^2 * sin(alpha) * cos(theta + alpha)) / (g * cos^2(theta))
Relative Motion
- Relative Displacement = Sa - Sb
- Relative Velocity = Va - Vb
