The purpose of this module is to enhance students understanding of key concepts and models associated with forces, potentials and fields. The objectives are to introduce and model kinematics, dynamics, planetary dynamics, fluid mechanics and electromagnetism using concepts such as magnitude, direction, rate-of-change, gradient and fields and to measure such quantities using instrumentation and software reinforcing the students' understanding of theory with applied experiments.

In this module, we will explore the fundamental concepts and principles that underpin our understanding of the physics of energy and the measurement and analysis of physical quantities. Through a combination of theoretical study, practical applications, and hands-on experiments, we will investigate the mathematics used by physicists and engineers to model kinematics, forces, dynamics, and fields, giving a clearer understanding of the world around us. We will also emphasize the evaluation of measurement errors and the analysis of tolerance in calculations to ensure accuracy and reliability in our findings. 1.
