Course Description

Static dynamics, Newton's law of motion, action / reaction, speed and acceleration, free fall and parabolic movement, momentum, work and energy
By following the textbook, I will explain the details and show concrete calculations. Do exercises every time and increase your understanding. We will explain the physical phenomena using VTR, DVD for the first one hour each time and practice in the rest of the time.
In this lesson, you will acquire knowledge on study objective 2.

Course Objectives

The goal is to understand the field of physics mechanics. We will learn about the position, velocity, acceleration of objects and exercise when force is applied to objects. The level of this course is suitable for those who did not take physics at high school.
The goal is to understand the dynamics phenomena in the vicinity and to acquire the fundamental power leading to the subsequent Physics 1.

Grading Policy

After learning in the lecture, we will do simple exercises and make it more familiar. At the end of the lecture, I will ask you to submit the exercise result. Grades are evaluated by totaling the scores of each exercise result. When additional reports are given, those points may be added.

Textbook and Reference

Requirements(Assignments)

Please read the mechanics part of the specified textbook (or equivalent textbook) in advance about 1.5 hours as a preliminary study.
