NEET Study Notes for Planar Motion, Definitions, Formulas, and Sample Questions

Physics is viewed as the toughest among the three subjects of NEET. However, a good position can be considered typically when a candidate scores over 140 marks in physics for which he/she needs to attempt around 40 questions with a high accuracy rate. To score well in this segment of NEET 2021, students should go through the significant topics, basic definitions, and practice on sample questions mentioned in the section below.

The Physics portion carries 25% weightage in NEET question paper which is 180 marks. For each right answer candidates can score 4 marks, whereas, for a wrong answer, 1 mark will be deducted. The topic Planar Motion or Motion in a Plane carries 1.5% weightage of marks in NEET, with a normal of 1-2 questions. Read the article to know more in detail about definitions, formulas and solved sample questions. 

Planar Motion

Motion in a plane or Planar Motion, refers to the point where we consider motion in two dimensions as only two dimensions makes a plane. Here, we take two axes into consideration,for the above mentioned dimensions as commonly as the X-axis or Y – axes. In order to get the equation of the motion in a plane, we must know about motion in one direction or Planar Motion.


Plane Motion Equations

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line or Planer Motion are:

  • v = u+at
  • s = ut+1/2 at²
  • v2 = u² + 2as

Where,

v is final velocity of the particle
u is initial velocity of the particle
s is displacement of the particle
a is acceleration of the particle
t is the time interval in which the particle is in consideration.

In a plane, we have to apply the same equations separately in both the directions: X-axis and Y-axis. Hence,this will give us the equations for motion in a plane.

  • vy = uy + ayt
  • sy = uy t +1/2 ay t²
  • v²y = u²y+2ay s

Here,

vy is final velocity of the particle in the y-direction
uy is initial velocity of the particle in the y-direction
sy is displacement of the particle in the y-direction
ay is acceleration of the particle in the y-direction

Similarly, for the X-axis :

  • vx = ux + ax t
  • sx= ux t+1/2 axt²
  • v²x = u²x+2 axs

Here,

vx is final velocity of the particle in the x-direction
ux is initial velocity of the particle in the x-direction
sx is displacement of the particle in the x-direction
ax is acceleration of the particle in x-direction

Projectile Motion

Projectile Motion: Plane Motion

One of the common examples of motion in a plane is Projectile motion. In a projectile motion, the acceleration acting is only, in the vertical direction which is acceleration due to gravity (g). Therefore,to find the unknown parameters, equations of motion can be applied separately in the X-axis and Y-axis.

Some examples of Two-Dimensional Plane Motion

  • Throwing a cannonball/a ball.
  • The movement of a billiard ball on the billiard table.
  • The motion of a shell, fired from a gun.
  • A motion of a boat in a river.
  • The movement of the earth around the sun.

Question 1. Look carefully if the following algebraic operations with scalar and vector physical quantities,meaningful. If not,give reasons:

  1. adding any two scalars,
  2. adding a scalar and a vector of the same dimensions,
  3. multiplying any vector with a scalar,
  4. multiplying any two scalars,
  5. adding any two vectors,
  6.  adding the vector and a component of the vector

Ans: Reasons for the following equations-

  1. Only when both the scaler quantities represent the same physical quantity,the addition of two scaler quantities will meaningful.
  2. The addition of a vector quantity and a scalar quantity is not meaningful.
  3. For example, force is multiplied with time to give impulse, therefore, a scaler can be multiplied with a victor.
  4. This equation is meaningful, because,a scalar irrespective of the physical quantity it holds,can be multiplied by another scalar having the same or different physical dimensions.
  5. It is meaningful because,the addition of two vector quantities,only if they both represent the same physical quantity,is possible.
  6. A component of a vector can be added to the same vector as they both will have the same dimensions,so it is meaningful.

Question 2: Go through the statements below and state with reasons, which of them is either true or false:

  1. The Vector's magnitude is always a scalar,
  2. Each component of a vector is always a scalar,

Ans:

  1. As,the magnitude of a vector is a number. Hence, it is a scalar (True).
  2. Each component of a vector is also a vector, so not always a scaler (False).
