This specialization is for learners who are interested in first-year, university-level physics. Through three courses, you will gain a foundation in mechanics including motion, forces, energy, momentum, rotational motion, and gravitation. With 100 brief lectures and over 100 problems, this comprehensive specialization is similar in detail and rigor to what is taught in on-campus courses. It will thoroughly prepare learners for their upcoming introductory physics courses, or more advanced studies.

What's inside

Three courses

Physics 101 - Forces and Kinematics

(0 hours)
This first course introduces the physics of force and motion. Upon completion, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe the motions and interactions of objects around us. Learners will gain experience in solving physics problems with tools such as graphical analysis, algebra, vector analysis, and calculus.

Physics 101 - Energy and Momentum

(0 hours)
This second course introduces mechanical energy and momentum. Upon completion, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe the motions and interactions of objects around us.

Physics 101 - Rotational Motion and Gravitation

(0 hours)
This third course introduces rotational motion and gravitation. Upon completion, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe the motions and interactions of objects around us. Learners will gain experience in solving physics problems with tools such as graphical analysis, algebra, vector analysis, and calculus.

Learning objectives

  • How to describe motion graphically mathematically.
  • The nature of forces and how they influence motion.
  • How to use energy and momentum to solve mechanics problems.
  • Interactions and energies of gravitational interactions.
