Classical Concepts

Classical Concepts

Classical Physics is concerned with macroscopic phenomena and excludes descriptions of the very small - 

(in the order of the nano-scale and smaller), and the very fast (in the order of the speed of light).

This module deals with concepts of Classical Physics and makes up 25% of the Physical Sciences 1 mark.

The first topic we will look at is Mechanics.

A group assessment will be given at the conclusion of this module.
