Concept Map of Physics
Concept Maps are a great way to get a big overview of how things fit together. We're going to be using this Physics Concepts Map to keep us oriented to where we are in the study of physics. You'll be coming back to this map freqently.
Concepts in Mechanics
We'll be starting out studying Mechanics, which is the physics behind moving things and how the interact with each other and the earth's gravity. Here are the basic concepts that we need to have a good handle on. You should come back to this list often to see how well you could explain each of them to your grandmother.
- Position, Distance and Displacement
- Time
- Scalars and Vectors
- Speed and Velocity
- Acceleration
- Force
- Impulse
- Momentum
Challenges
