Curriculum

Rest and Motion

This section lays the groundwork for understanding motion. We start by defining rest and motion, distinguishing between scalar and vector quantities. You’ll then master the concepts of distance and displacement, applying these concepts to solve practical problems. The section will also explore the concept of time and the relationship between speed, velocity, and acceleration, concluding with a quiz to reinforce your learning.

Motion in One Dimension

Moving beyond the basics, we delve into one-dimensional motion, focusing on the equations of motion. You'll learn how to derive and apply these equations, understanding their use in various scenarios. The section includes quizzes and practice problems to help you solidify your understanding. Special attention is paid to the applications of these equations.

Graphs

This section teaches you to represent and interpret motion using distance-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs. You’ll learn to analyze the graphs to determine the type of motion (uniform, non-uniform, etc.) and extract key information such as speed, velocity, and acceleration. A quiz tests your skills in analyzing and interpreting these graphs.

Laws of Motion

Here, we explore Newton's three laws of motion. We’ll discuss concepts such as inertia, force, and momentum, and apply them to different scenarios, including projectiles and frictional forces. The section includes lessons on two-dimensional motion, such as projectile motion, and the concept of centripetal force, complemented by quizzes and practical examples.

Gravitation

This final section delves into the fascinating world of gravitation. We start with an introduction to gravity, covering Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. The applications of gravitation are explained, such as the motion of satellites and rockets. The relationship between energy, work, and power is explored within the context of gravity, including calculations of escape velocity. The section concludes with a comprehensive quiz.
