  • Objectives

    Throughout this course, students will:

    ·         Apply physical space and time concepts, along with object positioning in various spatial frameworks.

    ·         Apply the kinematics of the material point which allows studying motion without worrying about the causes that trigger it, and this in fixed frames of reference and frames of reference in relative motion with respect to each other.

    ·         Define physical forces, interactions, motion, and equilibrium.

    ·         Interpret the principles of dynamics for material points and systems within Galilean and non-Galilean reference frames, employing them in problem-solving.

    ·         Practice the concepts of work and kinetic, potential, and mechanical energy of a material point and a system.
