Course Description

In this course, students learn about work and energy, potential energy, preservation of the energy, preservation of momentum, rotary motion, law of conservation of angular momentum, the law of universal gravitation and planetary movement, dynamic waves such as the vibration of a string and sound wave.

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is understanding motion, work and energy, wave phenomenon and being able to solve problems which relate to these matters.

Grading Policy

Students will be evaluated based on periodic test (80%) and report assignment (20%). The submitted reports will be corrected and returned.

Requirements(Assignments)

Since it is positioned as a higher subject of Physics 1, it is necessary to take the subject. It is important to understand the basic of calculus. The range of the class content is wide, please read the textbook about the topic of the next lesson place as described in the first lesson content, clarify the part which can not be understood (about 1 - 1.5 hours) and attend the lesson. After class, please review the theme that you learned, solve practice questions as instructed, and establish an understanding (about 1 - 2 hours). Please submit the assignment as a report at the beginning of the next lesson.

Note

Please bring a scientific calculator. Depending on the degree of comprehension, the progress may go back and forth. So we will instruct the review subject and the next preparatory range at the time of each lesson.
