Newtonian dynamics 1

This course introduces the basic concepts of Newtonian dynamics, complementing the notions of material point dynamics covered in the General Physics course and extending them to non-inertial reference frames, collision theory and variable-mass systems. Basic notions of hydrostatics and perfect fluid dynamics will also be covered.

Provide a solid foundation for the study of material point dynamics, using different reference frames to describe them. Understand system dynamics and two-body collisions.
