This course is designed to introduce students to mechanics as an experimental science, whose laws are based on experimental and deductive evidence. The principles taught are applied to real-world situations. Topics covered include: resolution of forces; concurrent forces in equilibrium; friction; velocity-time and displacement-time graphs; kinematics of motion in a straight line; Newton's laws of motion; linear momentum; connected particles; work done by a constant force; potential and kinetic energy; relationship between power, force and velocity; Hooke's law; motion of a projectile; motion in a horizontal circle with constant speed.
