Class 11 Physics Part 1

Measurement and the SI system, significant figures and the arithmetic of measured values, errors and how they combine, the dimensions of physical quantities, dimensional consistency, and deducing relations between quantities from units.

Rectilinear motion described through position, displacement, average and instantaneous velocity, acceleration, motion graphs, the kinematic equations for uniform acceleration, free fall under gravity, and relative velocity in one dimension.

Scalars and vectors, the laws of vector addition, resolution and components, motion in a plane with constant acceleration, projectile motion, relative velocity in two dimensions and uniform circular motion.

Inertia and the three laws of motion, the impulse-momentum theorem, conservation of momentum, equilibrium of a particle, common forces in mechanics, the laws of friction, and the dynamics of circular motion on level and banked roads.

Work as a scalar product of force and displacement, the work-energy theorem, kinetic energy, conservative forces and potential energy, the conservation of mechanical energy, power, and elastic and inelastic collisions.

The centre of mass of a system of particles, motion of the centre of mass, torque and angular momentum, rotational equilibrium, moment of inertia and the parallel and perpendicular axis theorems, rotational dynamics, the conservation of angular momentum and rolling motion.

Kepler's laws, Newton's law of universal gravitation, the variation of g with height and depth, gravitational field and potential, escape and orbital speeds, the energy of an orbiting satellite and the motion of planets and satellites.
