The emphasis in this course is to develop the links between motion, force, and energy. A sound grasp of key principles of elementary mechanics is of substantial importance for topics in all other sections. This course includes SI units, homogeneity of equation, kinematics of motion in a straight line, projectiles, Newton’s law of motion, momentum and its conservation, impulse, work, energy and power, forces, moments, circular motion, and gravitational field.

A high school background in physics can be an advantage.
