physics defines the origination of some mathematical algorithm by understanding
any physical phenomena.
On this page, we will learn about the following:

Why Do We Derive Physics Formulas?
Everything we study in Physics has some logic behind it and Mathematics gives us
the logic to understand the phenomena and when we see the connection between
mathematics and physics our understanding increases much more. During
applications, students may come across many concepts, problems, and
mathematical formulas. With the help of derivations, students use their ability and
creativity and good sort of potential to find solutions.
How to Derive Physics Equations?
Mathematical derivations are important in deriving the physical equations because
it helps to make us understand where the equation came from, why that is the
equation for a particular problem.Lear UNE Online
How to Derive Physics Formulas?
Physics formulas are derived from observations and experiments.
There are few derivations done below to describe how to derive physics formulas.

Torque on a Bar Magnet
Auniform magnetic field B is represented by parallel lines.
Ns is a bar magnet with the length 2I and strength at each pole is m.
The magnet is held at an angle € with the direction of B.

(image will be uploaded soon)
Force on North pole = mB, along B
Force on South pole = mB, opposite to BLear UNE Online

The forces are equal and they tend to rotate the magnet clockwise so as to align it
along
Therefore, torque on the bar magnet Is given by

Consider A NAS

Putting the value of (2) in (1)
T =MBx alsin®. Since M =m x 2I
T =BxMsino
In vector form, the equation (3) will be written as

Heat Engine
A heat engine is a device that converts heat energy into mechanical energy without
the change in the internal energy of the systemLear UNE Online
A heat engine essentially consists of the following components:
+ Source of heat at high temperatures
* Working substance
+ Sink of heat at a lower temperature
The Total Energy in S.H.M
simple harmonic motion is the motion executed by a point mass subjected to a
force that is proportional to the displacement of the particle but opposite in sign.
A particle executing S.H.M possess the following: Potential energy and Kinetic energy
Potential energy.
This is on account of the displacement of the particle from its mean position.
Consider a particle of mass m, executing S.H.M with amplitude a and constant
angular frequency w. Suppose t second after starting from its mean position, the
displacement of the particle is y, which is given by
y= ain wt..(1)

Summary
* Derivation means the action of obtaining something from a source or origin.
*Through derivation, we find a logical connection between a_ natural
phenomenon and a mathematical description of that phenomenon. In
general, this points to an important conclusion about nature itself.Vedaniti,
