Kinematics is one of the foundational chapters in JEE Main Physics. It deals with the motion of objects without considering the forces causing the motion. This chapter covers motion in one dimension, motion in two dimensions, projectile motion, and relative motion, forming the base for advanced mechanics topics.
First Equation of Motion:
v = u + at
Second Equation of Motion:
s = ut + ½at²
Third Equation of Motion:
v² = u² + 2as
Projectile Time of Flight:
T = 2u sinθ / g
Maximum Height:
H = u² sin²θ / 2g
Horizontal Range:
R = u² sin2θ / g
