Kinematics is a fundamental physics topic for the NEET Examination. This topic deals with motion in a straight line and motion in two dimensions. This chapter is one of the most vital chapters of Physics for the NEET examination.
Weightage & Importance
You can expect 5-6 questions from Kinematics in the NEET Exam. Thus, this topic is one of the crucial topics that a NEET aspirant should study and prepare thoroughly.
Syllabus & Topics
As per the NTA website, the topics under Kinematics are:
- The frame of reference, motion in a straight line, position-time graph, speed and velocity.
- Uniform and non-uniform motion, average speed and instantaneous velocity, uniformly accelerated motion, velocity-time, position-time graph, relations for uniformly accelerated motion.
- Scalars and Vectors, Vector Addition and Subtraction, Scalar and Vector products, Unit Vector, Resolution of a Vector, Relative Velocity,
- Motion in a plane: Projectile Motion, Uniform Circular Motion
How to study Kinematics?
Let us simplify and organise the above topics to understand how to prepare this chapter for NEET.
Here is a simplified view of the topics:
Theory Topics:
- Scalars & Vectors
- Scalar & Vector Quantities, Types of Vectors – Unit Vectors, Displacement Vectors, Position Vectors, Vector Notations.
- Vector Calculations: Equality, Addition, Subtraction & Multiplication of Vectors. Triangle & Parallelogram Law of Vectors.
- Vector Multiplication: Scalar & Vector Product.
- Resolution of Vectors
- Laws of Motion
- Frame of reference, Motion in a straight line, Position-Time graphs, speed & velocity
- Uniform & non-uniform motion, average speed, instantaneous velocity, uniformly accelerated motion, velocity-time graph
- Projectile Motion
- Uniform Circular Motion
Numerical Questions:
- Vector Addition & Subtraction
- Triangle & Parallelogram Law of Vectors
- Scalar & Vector Product of Vectors
- Resolution of Vectors
- Laws of Motion
- Non-Uniform Motion
- Projectile Motion
- Uniform Circular Motion
The Theory topics can be studied easily through the NCERT textbook (ebook available online) alone. Once you have studied and understood theory topics, you can move to numerical questions. For the NEET Examination, numerical questions are very important and most likely, numerical questions will be asked in the NEET Examination.
