AS2.4 Mechanics (External)

Mechanics is referred to as classical Physics. The standard is worth 6 Credits. The following topics make up the standard.
Motion:
Motion:
- constant acceleration in a straight line
- free fall under gravity
- projectile
- motion (constant speed with one force only providing centripetal force)
Force:
- force components
- vector addition of forces
- unbalanced force and acceleration
- equilibrium (balanced forces and torques)
- centripetal force
- force and extension of a spring.
Momentum and Energy:
- momentum
- change in momentum in one dimension and impulse
- impulse and force
- conservation of momentum in one dimension
- work, power and conservation of energy
- elastic potential energy.
