Unit Code: PHY402

Unit Name: Foundation Physics I

Description: This course introduces Mechanics, the study of motion and its course. This is a natural starting point; everyday experience offers abundant examples of mechanical principles, more than for any other area of physics. In this course we introduce several elements of language of physics, including units, calculation techniques and vector algebra. In the delivery of this unit, emphasis will be placed on the conduct of practical experiment and demonstration of safe and accurate use of apparatus and chemicals, developing skills in using scientific methods of solving problems, understanding of common chemical principles and their application to a range of everyday situation and technology.
