Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply the fundamental principles of classical mechanics to analyse the motion of macroscopic objects.

OB2: Analyse real-world problems using appropriate theoretical models and engineering assumptions.

OB3: Identify and define the most appropriate physical system for the analysis of mechanical phenomena.

OB4: Apply Newtonian mechanics concepts to explain the causes and effects of motion.

OB5: Identify and apply conservation principles of momentum, energy, and other relevant physical quantities.

OB6: Relate forces, acceleration, momentum, work, and energy to predict and explain the behaviour of mechanical systems.

OB7: Develop scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in the analysis of mechanics problems.
