College Physics I - Mechanics

This course introduces quantities, units and the dimensional base required to investigate and verify the laws of mechanics. Mechanics is the study of the effect of forces on bodies. It may be sub-divided into dynamics, statics, and kinematics. Dynamics is concerned with motion of bodies and the forces that cause that motion; statics investigates forces acting on bodies at rest (i.e. in equilibrium) whilst kinematics concerns motion only, with no reference to force or mass.
