Dynamics and Relativity

Code: PHYS101

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

From the motion of everyday objects to the structure of space and time itself, Dynamics and Relativity introduces the ideas that underpin modern physics. You’ll master Newton’s laws of motion, energy, momentum and rotation, apply them to real systems such as satellites and planetary orbits, and then discover how Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity transforms our understanding of motion at high speeds. With a strong emphasis on problem‑solving and physical insight, this core first‑year module builds the foundation you’ll use throughout your physics degree and beyond.
