Description
Physics is the language of the universe—and mastering it opens doors to understanding everything from everyday motion to the forces shaping galaxies. This College Physics course is designed to take you from the very basics to advanced applications, all in a clear, structured, and engaging way.
Starting with the nature of science and measurement, you’ll learn how to work with physical quantities, units, and conversions—the foundation for all problem-solving in physics. From there, we dive into kinematics, exploring motion in one and two dimensions, including projectile motion and falling objects. You’ll develop the ability to interpret graphs, apply equations, and solve real-world problems step by step.
Next, we tackle Newton’s Laws of Motion, friction, and other forces, giving you the tools to analyze how objects interact and move. You’ll progress to circular motion and gravitation, uncovering the principles behind planetary orbits and everyday rotations. The course then moves into work, energy, and power, teaching you how energy is conserved and transformed in physical systems.
Momentum and collisions come next, followed by statics and torque, where you’ll learn how structures remain stable and balanced. Finally, we explore rotational motion and fluid statics, covering topics like angular momentum, buoyancy, and Bernoulli’s principle.
By the end of this course, you will:
-
Understand core physics principles and their real-world applications.
-
Develop problem-solving skills for kinematics, forces, energy, and more.
-
Gain confidence in tackling college-level physics problems.
