Course description
This course focuses on the motion of a particle to understand and apply physics concept in real life. It starts with basic and derived physical quantities, vectors, and motion in one and two dimensions. This main discussion of this course is on the law of motions (Newton's first, second and third law)
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to provide students with selected principles of physics based on real life situations. In order to enhance their knowledge, students need to solve real life physics problems by applying the mathematical methods.
