Physics 100: Mastering Newton's Laws of Motion
Physics 100: Mastering Newton's Laws of Motion
This comprehensive course covers Newton's Laws of Motion. The course is taught by Dr.E, an award winning instructor with over 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience. The course combines lectures that summarize the important concepts and tutorials that will guide you and help you develop a problem solving strategy. You'll learn how to apply Newton's laws to study particles in equilibrium and the dynamics of particles when forces are acting on them.

1) Vector Review
Review vector addition and subtraction,
Adding vectors using graphical methods
Adding vector using components
2) Newton's First Law
Problem solving strategies
