This course is a very thorough introduction to physics in the context of everyday objects. Starting the course, you will first understand how things actually work. Then the instructor is going to examine the principle of inertia through skate boarding. Next, you will get to understand how a moving skater tend to continue moving. Similarly, the professor will talk about the physics concepts of gravity, weight, and then constant acceleration. After that, the concepts of Newton’s third law including the conserved quantities, support forces, energy, work, and more will be discussed as well. Therefore enrolling in this free crash course would be of great help.
