The aim of the course:
The main objectives of this course are to provide the student with a clear presentation of the basic concepts and principles related to mechanics of physics.
 
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.
LO - 2 : solve problems dealing with force and motion and do experiments dealing with linear motion, freely falling objects, and projectile motion and to explain the results of experiments.
LO - 3 : solve problems involving the concepts of energy, work, and power. Being able to do experiments dealing with Newton?s Law, forces of friction, and friction constant of surfaces to explain the results of experiments.
LO - 4 : solve problems involving, distance, velocity, and acceleration in circular paths.
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.
LO - 6 : solve problems dealing with rotational motion.
LO - 7 : comment rolling motion and solve problems
LO - 8 : solve problems dealing with translational equilibrium and rotational equilibrium.
LO - 9 : solve problems dealing with mechanical properties of matter.
