Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This is the first of the two calculus-based fundamental physics courses. The purpose of this course is to introduce to students with the fundamental laws of mechanics. While providing them with strong foundation in physics, this course also aims to help students gain analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through laboratory work, another objective of this course is to assist students develop skills in experimental techniques.

Course Content:

Vector algebra, kinematics in 1, 2 and 3D, dynamics, work-energy principle, conservation of energy, linear momentum and its conservation, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, angular momentum and its conservation.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Quantitatively describe and understand the motion of objects using vector kinematics,
2) Apply Newton’s Laws of motion to solve dynamics problems,
3) Gain a deep understanding of conservation of energy, linear momentum and apply them to real life phenomena,
4) Become efficient at analytical thinking and applying mathematical tools such as algebraic equations and calculus towards problem solving and describing physical systems,
5) Develop skills in measurements and data collection, data analysis and presentation of experimental results through laboratory activities.
