Welcome to WR Training0:59

Introduction to one dimensional motion1:19
Displacement7:35
Average velocity3:10
Learn how average velocity, defined as displacement over a time interval, describes an object's overall motion between two positions, with velocity as a vector.
Average speed7:55
Instantaneous velocity10:31
Acceleration7:07
Equations of motion6:27
Explore the equations of motion with constant acceleration, linking velocity and displacement, including v^2 = v0^2 + 2ax, using a braking example.
Free-falling object5:59
Explore vertical motion under constant earth gravity with downward acceleration, using upward-positive y and origin at start, to compute time to max height and impact velocity.

Introduction to two dimensional and circular motions2:18
Resolve displacement, velocity, and acceleration into x and y components in a two-dimensional plane using Cartesian coordinates. Treat each component separately to simplify motion analysis, with time governing both directions.
Displacement, velocity and acceleration15:17
Equations of motion in two dimensions1:31
Projectile motion11:57
Uniform circular motion10:45
Linear velocity, angular velocity, period and frequence7:39
Nonuniform circular motion5:47

Introduction to Newton's laws1:47
Learn how forces create acceleration and change velocity, explore kinematics and dynamics, and apply Newton's laws to linear and circular motion.
Statement of Newton's laws1:44
Discussion of Newton's laws of motion6:22
Free body diagram (FBD)4:48
Remarks on the application of Newton's second and third laws2:08
Newton's gravitational law3:30
Explore how two masses attract under Newton's third law, and apply the inverse-square law F = G m1 m2 / r^2 to reach near earth g ≈ 9.8 m/s^2.
Mass and weight3:43
Mass is constant and measured in kilograms, while weight is the gravitational force that varies by location; W = m*g with g differing on Earth, Moon, and Mars.
Apparent weight22:36
Dynamics of a uniform circular motion11:14

Introduction to work and energy1:38
Work5:34
Work-energy theorem10:06
Derive the work-energy theorem from Newton's laws, linking net work to the change in kinetic energy. Illustrate with frictionless motion and gravity to find height and speed.
Conservative forces1:24
Potential energy12:04
This lecture defines potential energy and explains how, via the work-energy theorem, conservative forces transfer energy between kinetic and potential forms, keeping mechanical energy constant with gravity and springs.
Non-conservative forces and the total mechanical energy3:22
Explore how the work-energy theorem splits into conservative and non-conservative work, linking changes in kinetic and potential energy to the total mechanical energy and showing non-conservative forces dissipate energy.
Power3:34
learn how power measures the time rate of work, with average power as work per time and instantaneous power as force times velocity; units include watt and kilowatt.

Introduction to linear momentum and collision1:53
System of particles6:56
Motion of the center of mass5:12
Linear momentum of a system of particles2:13
Explore how a system's linear momentum equals the sum of all particles' momenta and the center-of-mass velocity. A zero external force keeps momentum constant, underpinning conservation in two dimensional collisions.
Collision and change in linear momentum11:20
Conserve linear momentum in collisions by equating the change in momentum to the force times collision time, with equal and opposite forces and no external forces.
Impulse5:21
Collision in two dimensions6:52
Types of collision4:51

Introduction to rotational motions1:01
Angular kinematic quantities2:29
Rotational motion in a plane8:36
Torque10:23
Rigid body0:46
Explore rigid bodies by extending the point-particle approach to systems of discrete objects bound together, or to objects with finite continuous mass distributions, defined as rigid bodies.
Moment of inertia2:05
Parallel axes theorem1:08
The parallel axis theorem links a rigid body's moment of inertia about an axis parallel to the center of mass to their separation, useful for rolling cylinders or spheres.
Equilibrium of a rigid body5:33
Angular momentum13:35
Rotational kinetic energy2:07
A rigid body in translational and rotational motions1:14
Total mechanical energy11:04
Apply the conservation of mechanical energy to frictionless and conservative forces problems to derive velocities for a pulley system with two masses and a solid sphere rolling down an incline.
