Fundamentals of Motion, Energy, and Conservation Laws

Do you want to understand the foundational rules that govern everything from a falling apple to planetary motion? Classical mechanics provides the essential framework for quantifying movement, forces, and energy in the physical world. This course builds your conceptual understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and energy transformation, enabling you to apply mathematical models to solve real-world problems involving motion and interaction. What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamental concepts of displacement, velocity, and acceleration in one and two dimensions. * Apply Newton's Laws to analyze forces, momentum, and interactions between objects. * Master the definitions and applications of work, potential energy, and kinetic energy. * Practice solving problems using the fundamental laws of conservation of energy and linear momentum. * Analyze rotational motion, angular momentum, and torque in simple physical systems. * Configure basic mathematical models to predict the behavior and outcomes of physical interactions. The course begins by establishing the necessary mathematical language for describing motion, progresses through the study of forces and interactions, and concludes with a deep dive into energy, work, and the powerful conservation principles. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in physics. While mathematical thinking is required, we start with key terminology and foundational definitions.
