Questions students ask

What is physics, in simple words?Class 6–8A1

Physics is the science of how things move, work and change. It studies forces, energy, light, sound, heat, electricity and the whole universe. In short, physics asks why things happen — and finds simple rules that explain them.

Why do things fall to the ground?Class 6–8A1

Because of gravity. Earth pulls every object towards its centre. The pull makes a falling object go a little faster each second. Without air to slow them, a feather and a stone would actually fall at the same rate.

Speed and velocity — what is the difference?Class 9–10A4
SpeedVelocity
How fast you goHow fast, and in which direction
Size only (a scalar)Size and direction (a vector)
40 km/h40 km/h, towards north

So two cars at the same speed can have different velocities if they go different ways.

How do I solve a physics numerical problem?Class 9–12A3
  1. Read it twice. Write down what is given.
  2. Write what you need to find.
  3. Pick the formula that links them.
  4. Put in the numbers with their units.
  5. Solve, then check the unit and size make sense.
What is Newton's second law?Class 9–11A7

It tells you how a force changes motion.

F = m × a

Force equals mass times acceleration. A bigger push gives more acceleration, and a heavier object needs more force to speed up the same way.

Why do astronauts float in space?Class 9–10A1

Not because gravity is gone — it is still there. They float because they are in free fall. The spacecraft and everything inside fall around Earth together, at the same rate. With nothing pushing up on them, they feel weightless.

AC and DC — what is the difference?Class 10–12A4
ACDC
Current keeps changing directionCurrent flows one way only
From wall sockets and the gridFrom batteries
Easy to send over long distancesSteady — good for electronics
How do I stop forgetting formulas?All classesA2
  • Understand where a formula comes from — don't only memorise it.
  • Always write the units; they remind you what fits.
  • Solve three or four problems with it the same day.
  • Keep a one-page formula sheet and revise it weekly.
  • Teach it to a friend — if you can explain it, you know it.
Do I need physics for NEET or medicine?Class 11–12A1

Yes. NEET has a full physics section, and it often decides ranks. The topics are mostly Class 11 and 12 — mechanics, electricity, optics and modern physics. Steady practice in physics can lift your NEET score a lot.

Why does a straw look broken in a glass of water?Class 8–10A1

Because of refraction. Light bends when it moves from water into air. The light from the part of the straw under water reaches your eyes along a bent path, so that part looks shifted — and the straw seems to break at the surface.

What jobs can I do with physics?Class 11–12A2
  • Engineering — electronics, mechanical, aerospace.
  • Space science and astronomy.
  • Medical physics — scans and cancer treatment.
  • Clean energy and climate technology.
  • Data science and research.

How does this match my board and exams?All classesA1

The chapters follow CBSE. The laws and ideas also map to ICSE, Cambridge IGCSE, IB and AP for Classes 6 to 12. For entrance tests, the same topics cover JEE, NEET and the Olympiads. So one place works for school and for exams.
