Hi, this is Amitava, and I’m a physics tutor. I teach physics to help students see physics, not just calculate it.

Let me show you a problem solved live — without even a paper or pencil — just by choosing a smart reference frame.

Two stones are thrown from the same point at the same time, each with a speed of 100 meters per second — one vertically upward, and the other at 60 degrees to the vertical. What will be their separation after one second?

In the usual lab reference frame, we’d need equations and calculations. But instead, I choose a free-falling reference frame. In a free-falling frame, gravity disappears, and both stones move in straight lines with constant speed.

After one second, each stone has moved 100 meters, and the angle between their directions is 60 degrees. Now this becomes a simple geometry problem — they form an equilateral triangle.

So the separation is exactly 100 meters.

This is how I teach: intuition first, then the math, always looking for elegance and clarity. I’m very patient, and I truly believe there’s no such thing as a stupid question.

If you want to understand physics deeply and confidently, I’d love to work with you. Book a trial lesson and let’s explore physics together.
