The aim of the course:
The main objective of this course, the student with the basic concepts and principles of mechanical physics to give a clear presentation.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : apply the concepts of scalars and vectors in problem solving.1.21,
LO - 2 : solve problems dealing with force and motion, do experiments dealing with linear motion, freely falling objects, and projectile motion and to explain the results of experiments.1.21,
LO - 3 : solve problems involving the concepts of energy, work, and power and do experiments dealing with Newton Law, forces of friction, and friction constant of surfaces to explain the results of experiments.1.21,
LO - 4 : solve problems involving time, distance, velocity, and acceleration in circular paths.1.21,
LO - 5 : solve problems dealing with linear momentum, impulse and collisions and do experiments dealing with conservation of momentum and to explain the results of experiments.1.21,
