02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

01:27Tangential and Normal Components of Acceleration
In the study of particle motion, acceleration is often broken down into tangential and normal components to clarify how a particle's velocity changes over time. This approach relies on analyzing the geometry of the path and the dynamics of the motion. The tangential direction follows the path of motion and reflects changes in the particle's speed, while the normal direction points toward the center of curvature and captures changes in the direction of motion.The velocity of a particle moving...
