Physics 1 Learning Guide
Fundamental Concepts & Document Repository
What is Physics 1?
Physics 1 is an introductory course that establishes the foundation for understanding the fundamental principles governing the physical universe. This course introduces students to the core concepts of mechanics, which form the basis for all other areas of physics.
The primary focus of Physics 1 is classical mechanics—the study of motion, forces, energy, and momentum. Students learn to describe and predict the behavior of physical systems using mathematical models, developing critical problem-solving skills applicable across scientific disciplines.
Beyond just equations, Physics 1 emphasizes conceptual understanding, helping students develop intuition about how physical systems behave. This includes understanding the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration; how forces cause changes in motion; and how energy transforms from one form to another while being conserved.
Key Topics Covered:
- Kinematics (1D & 2D Motion)
- Newton's Laws of Motion
- Work, Energy, and Power
- Linear Momentum & Collisions
- Rotational Motion
