Physics Fundamentals - Mechanics
Description
Physics Fundamentals - Mechanics encompasses the study of motion, forces, energy, and the fundamental principles governing mechanical systems. The subject covers kinematics describing how objects move, dynamics explaining why objects move as they do through Newton's laws, work and energy relationships, and the conservation laws underlying mechanical systems. Learners will understand how classical mechanics explains everyday phenomena from falling objects to planetary motion. Understanding mechanics is essential for comprehending physical phenomena and technological applications.
Learning Objectives
