Learn physics like an MIT freshman would in our Introductory Mechanics X Series.
This set of modules will take you through the full set of topics covered in the first semester of Physics at MIT.
In the first module, you will explore the basic kinematic description of motion and the causes of motion (forces) and analyze more complex situations, such as a rocket whose mass depends on time or the tension in a massive string.
Then you will learn to use energy (kinetic, potential) instead of forces to describe the same physics.
Finally, we dive into more complicated topics like angular momentum, torque, and rotational dynamics and end the series with a mathematical description of simple harmonic motion and use it to approximate the simple pendulum and other cases where we can approximate the potential function like a quadratic.
