In this section you will find links to Case Studies.

Learning Goal

to recognize and apply physics concepts learned in this course to real-life scenarios.

Description

You will have 4 case study assignments.

Each of these assignments is designed to explore physics concepts in the world around us as well as to provide an opportunity to learn from and with peers.

A case study illustrates a concept or problem by using a real-life example that can be explored in depth.

The case studies are assignments to help you explore the application of physics to real-life and engage with current advancements and discoveries in science and technology.

This section contains four case studies:

• Case study 1 is on Mechanics “Sliding Rocks Mystery”
• Case study 2 is on Mechanics “Physics in Fitness and Sports”
• Case study 3 is on Fluids “Fluids: Medical Applications”
• Case study 4 is on Thermodynamics “Heat and Heat Effects”

Course Learning Outcomes Assessed

• Apply the concepts of kinematics and dynamics such as Newton’s laws, mechanical energy, work and power, and the law of conservation of energy.
• Apply the foundational concepts of thermodynamics, such as the characteristics of states of matter, gas laws, and fluid mechanics.
• Analyze physical phenomena related to mechanics and thermodynamics using critical thinking and conceptual problem-solving skills.
• Relate physics concepts to everyday phenomena, with the focus on the human body and health sciences.
