Overview

Key features

Upon completion of this Physics 101 - Rotational Motion and Gravitation third course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University , learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe the motions and interactions of objects around us.

Learners will gain experience in solving physics problems with tools such as graphical analysis, algebra, vector analysis, and calculus. This third course covers Rotational motion, Angular Momentum, and Gravitation.

Each of the three modules contains reading links to a free textbook, complete video lectures, conceptual quizzes, and a set of homework problems. Once the modules are completed, the course ends with an exam.

This comprehensive course is similar in detail and rigor to those taught on-campus at Rice. It will thoroughly prepare learners for their upcoming introductory physics courses or more advanced courses in physics.

What you'll learn

Learners will be prepared to critically evaluate real-world data and information regarding motion.
Learners can apply mathematical laws to the motions of objects under a variety of physical circumstances.

Learners will be prepared for more advanced courses in physics.
