General Physics A
| Course Purpose |
|---|
| The purpose of this course is to study classical mechanics based on Newton’s three laws of motion. By the application of the laws to phenomena familiar to ours, such as one-dimensional linear motion, circular motion, harmonic oscillation etc. , we study the method to describe mechanical phenomena. By introducing the concept of potential energy, kinetic energy and momentum of particles, we study the importance of the conservation laws of energy and momentum. |
| Learning Goals |
| Through the study of classical mechanics, students will obtain the ability to understand physical phenomena with methods of mathematical science based on principles and laws. |
