This behavior is described mathematically and verified by experimental measurements. In this course, you will learn to apply fundamental concepts that are important in describing the physical world. This will be done in a way that increases your level of expertise to critically evaluate and solve problems. To begin, the course will look at scalar and vector measurements along with their proper dimensions and mathematical analysis. A study in kinematics will follow.
Kinematics examines how objects move in one, two, and three-dimensions.
One of the most important concepts in nature is that of forces and how these are used to characterize the interaction between two objects. Force vectors will be developed in conjunction with Newton's Laws of motion. There exists only four ways in which objects in our Universe can interact. One of these four ways is through the force due to gravity. Newton's Universal Gravitational Law will be examined.
