On Circular Motion of John Warren's Car

D. V. Sathe

Retired HSC teacher

According to a student of Zollman and Spears (Kansas State University) he / she did not learn anything because the teacher always answered his / her questions [1]. This comment has made profound and ever-lasting impact on my way of teaching starting from 1975 and on work in global problems in learning Newton’s laws of motion at the SSC / HSC level. The most influential paper on my work was of John Warren in 1971 as I had to discuss related issues in six letters in Physics Education, UK over a span between 1984 and 2012. I regard John Warren’s report of 1971 as the greatest discovery of 20th century in Newtonian mechanics. He expired on 02 December 2016 at age 93 and therefore I am describing his discovery in this article and dedicate the same to his memory with great respect.
