This calculus-based subject covers topics in mechanics which forms the basis for further studies in engineering (statics and dynamics) as well as physics. This subject will cover experimental data analysis, vectors, kinematics, projectile motion, Newtonian mechanics, kinetic energy, potential energy and work, conservation of energy, centre-of-mass and momentum, conservation of momentum for systems of particles, rotational kinematics and dynamics.
