Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Describe physical systems in one, two, and three dimensions in terms of kinematic variables.
- Apply Newton's laws, and related concepts such as energy and momentum, to analyze linear and rotating systems.
- Interpret natural motion and the operation of machines in terms of fundamental physical principles and universal laws.
- Use a range of mathematical tools, including calculus, to solve physics problems.
- Design and conduct experiments and analyze the results.
