Content
The unit will commence with a calculus treatment of kinematics of motion in one, two and three dimensions, including parabolic motion. The application of Newton's laws to a wide variety of phenomena will be investigated and the concepts of work, energy and the conservation laws discussed. Rotational kinematics and dynamics will be introduced, including the concepts of moment of inertia and torque. Also introduced are electrical concepts of charge, field, voltage and circuits. Other topics to be covered include vectors, statics, centre of mass and oscillations.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible for a pass in this unit, students must achieve a minimum of 40% in the End-of-Unit Assessment.
