| Course description |
| "Mechanics" is one of the most fundamental subjects for students who major in science and engineering. In this course, we learn about the Newton’s law and it's applications, such as the falling motion of one particle and oscillatory motion of pendulums. Then, we also learn the “system of particles” such as rotational motion of rigid bodies. |
| Expected Learning |
|
1. Be able to explain the Newton’s law and to apply the law to projectile motion and oscillatory motion of particles 2. Be able to explain kinetic energy, potential, and relation between angular momentum and torque 3. Be able to calculate the motion of center of mass and relative motions of two interacting particles 4. Be able to solve problems about motion of rigid bodies.

| Prerequisites |
| In addition to 30 hours that students spend in the class, students are recommended to prepare for and revise the lectures, spending the standard amount of time as specified by the University and using the lecture handouts as well as the references specified below. |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| "Mechanics -Insights into the Laws and Theorems-” in Japanese by M. Endo, Shokabo |
| References |
| Fundamental of Physics1 "Mechanics" by D. Halliday, R. Resnick, and J. Waker can be also recommended as a reference. |
| Assessment/Grading |
| Midterm Exam (50%), Final Exam (50%), and deduction for an absence |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| In the course, you will note that motion of all the objects, including apples on the earth and planets, is described by one common law, that is the Newton’s law. |
