Course Synopsis This course covers the motion of a particle in one, two and

three dimensions, the motion of a system of particles, rigid bodies, rotation about an axis, static, gravitation and moving coordinates systems. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, special theory of relativity, the Lorentz transformation and the relativistic conservation laws are discussed

Kursus ini merangkumi pergerakan zarah dalam satu, dua dantiga dimensi, pergerakan sistem zarah jasad tegar, putaranpada satu paksi, statik, kegravitian dan sistem koordinatbergerak. Mekanik Lagrangian dan Hamiltonian, teorikerelatifan khas, transformasi Lorentz dan hukum keabadiankerelatifan turut dibincangkan.
