The course aims to motivate students to look into a world as a physical realty that is governed by physical laws,
Course to make them curious and to change them in a way that they learn that things are not always as they look like,
Objectives but also to learn that sometimes things are exactly as they look like. It also aims to motivate students to be
critical and to question things.

Textbook Open book Univ. Physics 1 and 2 https://openstax.org/details/books/university-physics-volume-1

After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
Analyze and interpret 1D and 2D kinematics problems that include free fall, projectile motion, relative motion
1 and uniform circular motion by using motion diagrams, vector representation of motion, explicit problem-
solving strategy for kinematic problems.

Solve dynamics problems in 1D and 2D by applying Newtons' Laws and conservation laws (energy and
2 momentum).

Learning 3 Define Newtons’ Laws, work, energy, momentum and impulse, and explain their relationship to motion.
Outcomes
4 Perform basic analysis of oscillating systems.
5 Define basic properties of solids, liquids and gases.
6 Use ideal gas law.
7 Solve problems that involves energy transfers by heat and work by using First Law of Thermodynamics.
8 Define electric properties of matter, electric current, voltage, electric field, Coulomb's law, Ohm's law.

9 Calculate basic problems from electricity and magnetism by using Coulomb's law, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's
circuit laws.
Teaching Class discussions with examples. Active tutorial sessions for engaged learning and continuous feedback on
Methods progress.
