Physical Dimensions, Units, and Observable QuantitiesPhysical Dimensions, Units, and Observable Quantities Summary: In this class, you will learn to differentiate fundamental quantities such as mass, length, and time, and how they relate to derived units like area and force. You will discover the importance of comparable observable quantities in the...
Fundamentals of Kinematics: Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Summary: In this class, we will review the fundamental concepts of kinematics: position, velocity, and acceleration. We will explore how to represent position as a function of time, differentiating between instantaneous and average velocity and acceleration. Additionally, we will derive the equations of...
Rectilinear Uniform Motion (R.U.M.) Summary: In this class, we will focus on applying the equations to rectilinear uniform motion, which is essential to understand how objects move at a constant speed. We will review the equations on the axis and see their simplification when the acceleration is zero, allowing us...
Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion (UARM) Summary: In this class, we will review the concept of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (UARM). We will explain how this type of motion implies constant acceleration in a straight line and is modeled through equations obtained by integration. Learning Objectives: By the end of this...
Projectile Motion Summary: In this class, we will review all the kinematic aspects of projectile motion, a crucial topic in physics that extends our previous study on uniformly accelerated motion. We will address how, by removing the restriction on the direction of motion, we encounter parabolic trajectories typical of projectiles....
Work and Mechanical Energy Summary: We will dedicate this series of classes to studying the relationship between work, energy, and some of its forms: kinetic and potential. From these analyses, we will calculate the stopping distance of a mobile that starts with an initial speed and travels until it stops....
Newton's Laws Summary: This class addresses Newton's laws and their role in the dynamics of bodies. It explores how mass and velocity determine linear momentum and describes the three laws: inertia, which maintains the state of motion in the absence of external forces, the relationship between force and acceleration, and...
