Labs are available on a limited basis.
This course begins with a study of vectors and how they are manipulated. Vectors are used in kinematics, which is analysing motion in a straight line in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The second unit also analyses motion, but in terms of the forces that produce it, called dynamics. Newton's Laws are first introduced in this context, but students will be studying them throughout the course in a variety of applications. Unit 3 focusses on momentum and energy.
