Mechanics – Short Summary
Mechanics is a core branch of physics that studies the motion of objects and the forces that produce or change this motion. In the first year of Science and Technology, the course introduces fundamental tools and principles used to describe physical phenomena.
1. Introduction to Measurement
-
Dimensional Analysis: Used to check the consistency of equations and understand physical relationships through basic dimensions (L, M, T).
-
Uncertainty Calculation: Every measurement has an error; students learn how to estimate, combine, and express uncertainties.
-
Vector Calculus: Physical quantities like displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force are treated as vectors, requiring vector addition, subtraction, and components.
2. Kinematics
Studies motion without considering forces.
Covers position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration in one and two dimensions, including uniform and accelerated motion.
3. Dynamics
Explains the causes of motion through Newton’s Laws.
Includes the concept of force, mass, friction, and ..........
4. Work and Energy
Describes how forces transfer energy.
Topics include work, kinetic and potential energy, and the conservation of mechanical energy.
