A Bridging Course to First Year Physics with Peter Eyland
This is a preparatory course for those taking University Physics who have not done Physics before. It gives an introduction to the language, style and techniques of Physics. This is done with some basic terms and thinking about how to describe motion and its causes.
Course Content
|
|
Lecture 1 Physics as the nature of things |
|
Lecture 2 Average and instantaneous acceleration |
|
Lecture 2a The techniques of finding slopes (how quickly something changes in time or space) and finding areas (the effect of something through time or space) will now be applied to position, speed and acceleration. Speed and Acceleration - examples. Fully worked answers are provided. |
Speed and Acceleration examples |
Lecture 2b More Speed and Acceleration - examples. Some practice questions for you to try. |
More Speed and Acceleration examples |
Lecture 3 Descartes and Cartesian co-ordinates |
