Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
-
demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of motion and forces as applied to simple 1, 2 and 3-D systems;
-
undertake calculations to determine the effect of multiple forces and the resulting motion, and the concepts of deformation, elasticity and strength as pertaining to static forces and be able to calculate tensile strength of objects;
-
describe the basic electrostatic interactions between objects, apply Coulomb's Law and undertake calculations to determine the potential and electric fields in the vicinity of charged objects;
-
interpret simple dc and ac electric circuits, and perform calculations involving both active and passive circuit elements;
-
describe key concepts in electromagnetism and be able to state, and apply, Faraday's and Lenz's Law in practical situations;
