02

Kinematics

The grammar for every later chapter. Graph-reading questions are common.

NMC Unit 2
Ch2

Motion in a Straight Line

Displacement and velocityUniform accelerationv–t and x–t graphsRelative velocity in 1D

Ch3

Motion in a Plane

Vector addition and resolutionProjectile motionUniform circular motionRelative motion in 2D
≈ 1–2 Qdoingdone
03

Laws of Motion

Free-body diagrams here decide how the rest of mechanics feels.

NMC Unit 3
Ch4

Laws of Motion

Newton's three lawsImpulse and momentumFrictionPulley and lift problemsDynamics of circular motion
≈ 2 Qdoingdone
04

Work, Energy and Power

Collisions and the work–energy theorem are the repeat offenders.

NMC Unit 4
Ch5

Work, Energy and Power

Work–energy theoremConservative forcesPotential energy curvesElastic and inelastic collisionsPower
≈ 2 Qdoingdone
05

Rotational Motion

Highest-yield mechanics unit. Moment of inertia values are worth memorising.

NMC Unit 5
Ch6

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

Centre of massTorque and angular momentumMoment of inertia, parallel and perpendicular axis theoremsRolling without slippingRotational equilibrium
≈ 2–3 Qdoingdone
06

Gravitation

Formula-driven and quick to score once orbital relations are fluent.

NMC Unit 6
Ch7

Gravitation

Kepler's lawsVariation of gGravitational potential energyEscape and orbital speedSatellites and geostationary orbits
≈ 1–2 Qdoingdone
07

Properties of Solids and Liquids

Three NCERT chapters sit inside this one NMC unit — plan it as a block.

Waves

Progressive wave equationSuperposition and standing wavesStrings and organ pipesBeatsDoppler effect
≈ 1–2 Qdoingdone

Not in the NEET syllabus

These sat in the older Class 11 course and are gone from the rationalised NCERT and the NMC syllabus. Skip them in revision; older question banks still carry them.
