Course/Module description:
Mechanics, or more accurately, Newtonian Mechanics, describes the motion of macroscopic objects under the action of a system of forces. The theory is actually based upon Newton's fundamental laws as well as the implied conservation laws: Mechanical energy, linear and angular momentum.
Course/Module aims:
The students will acquire knowledge of Newtonian mechanics and an introduction to the Special Theory of Relativity, and will be introduced to the scientific paradigm.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
