When you compress or stretch a spring, as soon as the stress is relieved, the spring attains its normal shape instantly. Its Elastic potential energy helps it do so. Generally, these elastic substances follow the Hooke’s law.

According to this Law, the force needed to change the shape of spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. The displacement referred here is how far the spring is compressed or stretched from its normal shape. Mathematically, Hook’s Law can be summarised as F= – k x. Here ‘k’ is the spring constant and ‘x’ is the displacement.

without this centripetal force, circular motion is not possible. It acts radially towards the centre and if this force is removed there will be no circular motion but the revolving body will fly off at a tangent.

The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict, was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). In India, the conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay.

Asian Development Bank (ADB) announced that it will assist the municipal agencies to improve quality of municipal schools through its School Excellence Programme (SEP).

The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere and extends to an altitude of about 85 km. This is layer is often referred to as the cold layer, as the lowest readings in the atmosphere are found here.

Temperature decreases with height, reaching a minimum average value of -90 ºC at the top of the layer.

The flow of thermal energy due to differences in their temperatures is called Heat.

Galton's whistle is also called as Dogs whistle or silent whistle, is a type of whistle that emits sound in the ultrasonic range, which people cannot hear but some other animals can, including dogs and domestic cats, and is used in their training.
