Course overview
Physics is the science of matter, energy, and interactions between the two. Aspects of physics can be categorized into fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, electronics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. The Introduction to Physics: Force and Motion training course examines some fundamental laws of physics involving force and motion. It discusses their real word applications in industrial facilities. This course describes terms and types of force as they pertain to classical physics. It also explains Newton's laws involving motion and how to perform basic calculations using these laws. Introduction to Physics: Force and Motion is part of the Industrial Science training series.
