Foundational Physics: Mechanics, Waves, and Energy

Have you ever wondered why objects fall, how electricity works, or what the fundamental nature of light is? Physics provides the answers to these essential questions about the natural world. This course transforms complex scientific concepts into clear, digestible principles. You will gain a strong conceptual framework for classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, preparing you for deeper study in any engineering or science discipline. What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamental laws of motion, force, and momentum using classical mechanics. * Apply principles of energy conservation and work to solve problems involving various systems. * Master the behavior of waves, including sound and light, and the basics of geometric optics. * Configure basic electric circuits and analyze the relationship between electricity and magnetism. * Learn the foundational concepts of modern physics, including basic relativity and quantum ideas. The course begins by defining key terminology and mathematical tools necessary for physics study. We then progress systematically through mechanics, thermal physics, waves, and electricity, culminating in an introduction to concepts that define 20th-century physics. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior physics knowledge. A basic understanding of algebra is helpful but not required.
