Hooke's law is a principle of physics that states that the force F needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance X is proportional to that distance. That is: F = kX, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring: its stiffness, and X is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
The law is named after 17th century British physicist Robert Hooke. He first stated the law in 1660 as a Latin anagram. He published the solution of his anagram in 1678 as: ut tensio, sic vis (As the extension, so the force or the extension is proportional to the force).
Hooke's equation holds in many other situations, wh

Newton's second law of motion is F = MA. Thus, Ft = mv - mu.
Now, when F = 0, then v = u. In the absence of force, the object continues to move with same velocity throughout.
Now, when F = 0 and u = 0, then v = 0. That is, an object at rest will remain at rest if no force is acting on it. Thus, Newton's first law is derived from second law.
Now, let us consider a system of 2 bodies 1 and 2, and consider that there is no external force acting. Now, let F12 be the force acting on 2 by 1 & F21 be the force acting on 1 by 2.
The rate of change of momentum of 1 = dp1/dt and rate of change of momentum of 2 = dp2/dt. Thus, according to Newton's s

You should go for KVPY SA exam is conducted for class 12th. KVPY SA exam will have single paper with objective type multiple choice questions. The duration of the paper is 3 hours. The paper will have negative marking. For KVPY preparation, NCERT books are best books.
Besides school books, you can use following books for reference:
1. Chemistry: P Bahadur for physical chemistry.
2. Solomons for organic chemistry.
3. OP Tandon for inorganic chemistry.
4. Physics: HC Verma Vol 1 and 2.
5. Mathematics: RS Agarwal, SL Loney.
6. Biology: NCERT.
Best of luck.

You can become a scientist by an exhaustive study. It is what we call research. You try to assess your capacity for hard work and how you can increase it. Your work should be qualitative also. If you can be complete in your study, your work is finished. It is not just doing some job.

M.Sc honors is a four year integrated course after class 12th at BITS. Dual degree in BITS means that you can do another higher graduation degree along with M.Sc degree, e.g. M.Sc physics student can do B.Tech ECE as second / dual degree, simultaneously by choosing electives in M.Sc degree from B.Tech syllabus to reduce time period of second degree. In five to six years an average plus student can do both.
