This course focuses on the motion of a particle to understand and apply physics concepts in real life. It starts with fundamental
and derived physical quantities, vectors, and motion in one and two dimensions. The main discussion of this course is on the
law of motion (Newton's first, second, and third laws)
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.
