This course aims at making the students to understand physical quantities, their classification and measurements. The three laws of linear motion and their application in solving problems is discussed. The concepts of equilibrium, stability and moments and their practical application have been introduced.

In this course, the student is also expected to develop an understanding of linear momentum, understand dynamics of rotational motion and gravitational interaction and its application in artificial satellites; and to develop skills and art of solving problems in a well reasoned manner.
A brief treatment of simple harmonic motion is also included. 

In this course, trainees are expected to define the key terminologies involved, state laws and principles and do some computations involving key formula in the course and explain occurrences of scientific phenomenon.
Trainees should be able to develop the art of describing operations of devices based on scientific principles.

Assessment will be done in the following ways and in the aspects shown below:

        1. Continuous assessment test      40%

2. End of Semester Final exam 60%

The lectures are mainly based on:

• College Physics 3^rd Ed By Raymond A. Serway & Jerry S. Faughn
• Advanced Physics for You By Keith Johnson et al (Nelson Thornes Publishers)
• A-Level Physics 4th Ed By Roger Muncaster (Nelson Thornes Publishers)
