The course consists of the following topics: linear motion and force, Newton’s laws, balance of forces, energy and work, conservation law, momentum, rotational motion.
Objectives & Outcome:
Understanding of fundamental concepts and mechanisms involving motion, force, energy, momentum, heat, entropy that are needed for further studies in physics, engineering and technology.
Build skills in formulating and solving problems: improve thinking process and intuition through understanding fundamentals and applying that to solving practical problems.
Increase mathematical and computational ability: develop capability to find analytical solutions for some problems, while in others where such solutions are difficult or impossible to find, develop numerical/computational methods. These are the “hard” skills to prepare for any future science and technology career.
