To study and understand the motion of objects in space, students need to build a foundation of knowledge in a wide variety of physical science phenomena. This program demonstrates typical mechanics situations common to many physics courses, such as circular motion, projectile motion, straight line motion, and inclined plane motion. Describing these motions in terms of forces and energy transfers, the video examines the topic of motion using a series of large-scale, real-world examples. In the process, it deals with issues such as uncontrolled variables of nonuniform friction and subsequent energy loss. Each topic is illustrated through detailed analysis, discussion, and visuals.
